A Little Sports History of Savannah

Savannah has a long history of great sporting events. The first horse race in Georgia was held in Savannah in 1740. Also, the first golf course in America  was built in Savannah in 1794.

The first car race in Savannah was held in 1908. There is an article and picture  here at the Georgia Historical Society website. Savannah's racing tradition is carried on today through the Savannah Speed Classic.

Savannah has hosted a baseball team since 1904. Great players such as Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson have played here. Today, Historic Grayson Stadium is home to the Savannah Sand Gnats minor league baseball team.

Savannah also hosts the  Savannah Tire Hockey Classic, the Liberty Legends of Golf, the Savannah Storm Basketball Team and other sporting events throughout the year.
