The Wilson Tobs are an amateur baseball team playing in the Coastal Plain League, an NCAA-sanctioned collegiate summer baseball league. The team plays its home games at Fleming Stadium in Wilson, North Carolina.[1] Today's Tobs were one of the original teams in the collegiate Coastal Plain League when the league was founded in 1997;[2] prior to 1997 the town of Wilson hosted minor league teams throughout the 20th century. In 2005 the Coastal Plain League named the Tobs the CPL Organization of the Year.[3] The Tobs' mascot has been a tobacco worm named Slugger since the 1999 season.
