He was playing in North Carolina during the 1950 season. Any idea how I might find this information. I looked at rosters of all North Carolina teams, however, many rosters did not have birthplace. I was hoping you might have better information. I appreciate any help you may have.

I guess that next time I will have to read a little closer. I was under the impression that MVP meant Most 'Valuable' Player. Next time, jjack will have to title this survey MFP for Most 'Favorite' Player. As the defintions state: Favorite - a person or thing regarded with special preference. Valuable - of considerable importance or quality. Those of us who were voting for the MVP should know better. You are so right Brad. I guess that next time I will have to read a little closer.
