Wilson Tobs Crewneck Sweatshirt - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - North CarolinaThe Tobs name is short for "Tobacconists," a nod to Wilson's standing as one of the world's largest tobacco markets, dating back to the original Wilson Tobacconists of 1908, who won the Eastern Carolina League title in 1909. Between stints as the Wilson Bugs in the Virginia League during the 1920s and a run in the Coastal Plain League starting in 1939, the Tobs name became permanent.

The Tobs name is short for "Tobacconists," a nod to Wilson's standing as one of the world's largest tobacco markets, dating back to the original Wilson Tobacconists of 1908, who won the Eastern Carolina League title in 1909. Between stints as the Wilson Bugs in the Virginia League during the 1920s and a run in the Coastal Plain League starting in 1939, the Tobs name became permanent. The 1941 Tobs went 87-30 to win the Coastal Plain League by more than 20 games and were later recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time.

Wilson joined the Carolina League in 1956 at Fleming Stadium, going through Phillies, Senators, Orioles, and Pirates affiliations within a few seasons before settling with the Minnesota Twins in 1961. The Tobs won the 1959 Carolina League championship, sweeping the first-place Raleigh Capitals in a best-of-seven series despite finishing the regular season six and a half games behind them. Future Pittsburgh pitcher Tom Butters threw a one-hit shutout in the deciding game.

On September 14, 1955, in the middle of the Tobs' Carolina League years, Elvis Presley performed a concert at Fleming Stadium. The ballpark also later hosted future Hall of Famer Rod Carew in 1966 and was managed in 1960 by Jack McKeon, who would go on to manage the Florida Marlins to a World Series title in 2003.

Wilson's pedigree as a baseball town runs deep: more than 100 players who passed through Fleming Stadium over the decades went on to play in the major leagues, and the Tobs name lives on today as a summer collegiate team. The rapid-fire singsong chant of a tobacco auctioneer calling bids across a warehouse floor was as familiar a sound in Wilson as anything else in the city, and this design's mascot is a direct nod to that local figure. A tobacco auctioneer, not the leaf itself, grounds the Tobs in the specific economy of Wilson's market days rather than in the crop more generally.

Great Depth, Beautiful Edition.
Format: Hardcover
The deluxe hardcover is gorgeous, with art on the inside of the cover and diagrams and footnotes galore. I will say the footnotes get pretty deep, almost as many of them as there is "normal" text. But very, very well done deluxe anniversary edition. The content blows me away, and like Heiser says, I'll never read my Bible the same way again. Wouldn't recommend this book to most people, as sometimes I had to go back and re-read a passage, or got done with a footnote that was several paragraphs long and had to remember what the text was talking about before I got sidetracked by the footnote. But very glad I read it, very glad I own it. Also comes with a free digital download (though locked to their free app, Logos).

The best book so far from Dr. Michael Heiser!! A MUST-HAVE!!
Format: Paperback
This book is a must have! Dr. Michael Heiser was a great scholar that gave truth to all he taught. His book is really filled with good in depth information where you get more understanding with what you read from Scripture. It gives great detail explanation of many topics and references to where you can look into Scripture. There's many footnotes in it as well from him. He has many different books written and I think this is his best. So YES this is a must have and you should get "The Unseen Realm" from Dr. Michael Heiser.

Outstanding Book, Read Best with Careful Right Division
Format: Hardcover
Verified Purchase. I bought this book for myself and, after reading it, also purchased copies for several family members and friends. The Unseen Realm is one of the most thought-provoking and eye-opening biblical studies I’ve encountered. Michael Heiser does an excellent job restoring the supernatural worldview of Scripture and shedding light on passages that are often overlooked or misunderstood. From an Acts 9 Mid-Acts Dispensational perspective, however, the book is best read with discernment. The narrative frequently treats Acts 2 (Pentecost) as a major turning point in God’s program for the nations. Mid-Acts theology understands Acts 2 as still part of Israel’s prophetic kingdom program, with the distinct revelation of the Church, the Body of Christ, revealed later through the apostle Paul. In addition, the book’s strong emphasis on a unified, canon-wide storyline can blur the important Prophecy vs. Mystery distinction, particularly the uniquely Pauline revelation of the unprophesied mystery of the Body of Christ. Finally, while not teaching baptismal regeneration, the book affirms water baptism as meaningful for believers today, which differs from the Mid-Acts conviction that the Church participates only in the one baptism of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). Overall, this is an excellent and enriching book that I gladly recommend — provided it is read with careful right division and Pauline distinctives firmly in place.

This book will change how you view the Bible in context (in a very good way).
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
When I first stumbled upon Dr. Heiser’s work, I didn’t know just how much I was going to enjoy it. In the Unseen Realm, Dr. Heiser lays out the best exegetical and hermeneutical case I’ve seen for understanding the Bible, especially those hard to understand passages that are littered throughout. This book has helped me take my biblical understanding to another level. It’s also one of the best researched books I’ve come across in any subject (60 pages of bibliography). Not only can you read this and enjoy a new level of understanding, but it can also become a reference book that you use again and again. I’m now going to read his other books because this was fantastic. God bless you all.

Required Reading for Serious-about-Scripture Christians
Format: Hardcover
A must-have, must-read for anyone interested in what Scripture's authors believed and communicated in the writings. Eye opening, gripping, and serves as an outstanding introduction or supplemental to the ancient context of Scripture for understanding it's teaching today. Absent are surface level feel-good platitudes. This book is for someone who wants meat. I highly recommend this book and Michael Heiser's other books.
