Rocky Mount Leafs (1941-1952)
December 21, 2018
The Rocky Mount Leafs were a low-level minor league baseball team from North Carolina, active intermittently from 1941 until 1952. The Leafs played in the Class D Coastal Plain League. Class D is a classification that was retired in 1963, roughly equivalent to the modern-day Rookie League classification. Rocky Mount’s later entry in the Class A Carolina League revived the “Leafs” identity for eleven seasons between 1962 and 1972.
