The Martinsville Manufacturers took their name from the city's textile mills, which produced towels for much of the early twentieth century. The team joined the Class D Bi-State League at its founding in 1934, a circuit built around mill towns along the North Carolina-Virginia border. In that inaugural season, player-manager Jimmy Sanders hit .423, the highest batting average in all of minor league baseball that year, though Martinsville lost the championship series to the Danville-Schoolfield Leafs.

Hall of Famer Enos Slaughter played his first professional season with Martinsville in 1935, going on to a nineteen-year career with the Cardinals and Yankees that included ten All-Star selections and a World Series championship. The Manufacturers became a St. Louis Cardinals affiliate later in the decade before switching to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1940, the same year they won their only Bi-State League championship.

The Manufacturers played their final season in 1941, finishing second despite batting champion Albert Behrends hitting .378 and teammate Tom Burnette leading the league with 28 home runs and 114 RBI. The Bi-State League folded the following year and was succeeded after World War II by the Carolina League, where a new Martinsville franchise, the Athletics, won the 1948 Carolina League title with Hall of Famer Heinie Manush managing in 1945.

The Manufacturers and the Athletics both played at the same Martinsville ballpark, English Field, which still hosts baseball today as Hooker Field. This design's mascot draws on the towel-and-textile identity of Martinsville's mills, representing the Manufacturers through the product that built the town rather than through a generic occupational figure.

Awesome quality glow balls
Color: I) 8-Pack (2.5" Balls)
I have bought every glow ball on amazon many times over for my german shepherds. My longest lasting balls have been the chuck-it, they seem to glow longer and not get destroyed but are expensive. These glow balls are our new favorite and not only because of the low price. They hold a good glow longer are heavy duty and fit the chuck-it thrower perfectly. I am stocking up on these. Shipping was also next day so it's 100% buy on these.

Glow in the Dark Balls
Color: 2-Pack (3" Balls)
These balls are ok, not great. The reason they didn’t receive 5 stars is because they are hard/stiff, harder to throw & heavier than the the “Chuck It” glow in the dark balls. They did not hold up to heavy chewers as well as the aforementioned balls.

Bulky
I was a little disappointed in how bulky these were and seemed hard to get on. If you can get past this they do seem to work good. Hands do seem softer and a bit healthier.

Really moisturizes hands
These gloves really work. My cuticles and hands alway seem dry. I used these gloves the first night I received them and my hands were really smooth afterward. When I get in bed at night, I play on my computer and iPad, and these gloves are perfect. The end of the index finger is designed to be used with a phone, computer, and iPad. Make sure you push the end of the fingers on the gloves all the way down to the end of your fingertips; otherwise you will not be able to use them with a device. I find they work better with my iPad than my computer. I have not tried to use with my phone. The gloves are not uncomfortable, but I found they are not comfortable to wear all night, so I just try to wear them about an hour every night. I wish I had these gloves about 20 years ago and my hands would probably look like a 20 year old.

So much pain
I had to remove these after less than 5 minutes as they caused such intense pain. The gel clings to your skin even with the lotion and tightens around your hands cutting off circulation. They have been off for about half an hour and my hands still hurt. I was so excited as I really like this brand in general. Very disappointed. Be very aware when buying.
