Garrett Blanton
Garrett Blanton was a Babe Ruth all-star for all three of his years in the league. After Babe Ruth, Garrett continued to excel in baseball at Lincoln High School and received a scholarship to play for Florida State University. He was drafted in 1991 by the St. Louis Cardinals and played in their farm system for four years. He returned to Tallahassee after his playing days and earned his Master's Degree in Applied American Politics and Policy. Garrett's dad, Edwin served as Babe Ruth president. His son, Garrett, continued the family tradition of playing Babe Ruth baseball.
Thomas Irving Brown, Jr. (Palmer Williams accepted on his behalf)
Thomas Irving Brown, Jr., better known as Tom Brown, coached Tallahassee Babe Ruth Baseball from its inception in 1953 until his death in 1973. Coach Brown provided direction and helped develop many of the leaders who have guided our city and our Babe Ruth program. He served our community in many ways, including on the Leon County Commission and his work at local schools and youth programs. His service was so valuable to our community that Tom Brown Park was dedicated in his honor in 1977.
