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.

Defective toy and inconsistent quality.
Size: X-Large, Color: Raccoon, Size: X-Large, Color: Raccoon
My initial review was 5 stars based on my experience with a previous order (blue raccoon) and the fact my puppy was immediately interested in it. However, I did not give it to her to play with until this past Friday (May 21, 2026) because she had the first one I bought. In a matter of 2 days the seam on the back and at the base of the head unraveled and all of the stuffing was scattered all over the room. I thought I’d found some good, high quality, toys for her but apparently this one was defective because the first one had had a lot of use and I’d still in decent shape. This is too much money to pay for a dog toy that only lasts a day or two so be advised they aren’t all good.

Bigger, louder, crinklier, softer, than expected!
Size: X-Large, Color: Rabbit
My dog was gifted a collection of used toys and he really likes a very long stuffed pig which, unfortunately, another dog that is a destructive chewer, totally destroyed. I decided to break down and buy him another long stuffed toy today and since he's always blissfully watching rabbits in the yard and neighborhood I chose the rabbit version. This thing is huge which is great for him- he's 62 lbs and 7 months old and only half grown. He loves it, it has multiple LOUD squeakers, lots of crinkly spots, and fun ears/legs to grab hold off. He's a big fan and it's made with K9 Tuff Guard which LASTS. Super soft and easy to wash. Update after 2 months- easy to wash and looks new after a washing. very durable so far, standing up to indoor and outdoor use. He is not a destructive chewer but whips them around, tramples on them, steps on them while running top speed and chomps on the annoying squeaker for hours. one squeaker has a hole and its tune is now slightly muted (thank god)
