Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 220
Did you know...?
Baseball runs deep in our town's history! Norcross is said to have produced more professional baseball players per capita than any other town in the nation. Four major leaguers came out of our town (when we had a population of around 1,000 people) - and a host of minor leaguers, as well. Click here to see a photo of our 1910 baseball team!
