Recognition of Former Players
Franklin Panthers need your help.
In recognition of the long and storied history of Franklin High School baseball, newly appointed head baseball coach of the Franklin Panthers, Jared Greenwood, has devised a way to acknowledge all those who made the Panthers’ program synonymous with excellence in baseball and sportsmanship.
In the last 54 years – since the spring of 1967, when Tom Raby resurrected high school baseball in Franklin – there have been more than 600 young men who played for the Panthers.
We want to meet them, recognize them, and get their autographs.
The Panthers have dedicated a wall in the batting cages at their facility at the Macon Middle School to all former players and coaches and ask them to drop by and sign their names to the wall. We hope to get the signature of everyone who ever played for or coached the Panthers. You are encouraged to contact us through our page -- and set up a time to come by the batting cages and sign the wall. (The batting cages are in the building beyond the right field fence at MMS.) A particularly good time would be before home games, when the players and coaches could meet you and give you a tour of the facilities.
If you are a former player, or if you know a former player who we might not be able to reach out to our page. Leave us your name, the years you played, any contact info you care to share (phone, email, etc.), and let us know if you can help us contact any of your former teammates.
If someone in your family was a former player who has since passed away, please contact us and arrange to have a family member sign the wall in his absence.
