Born in Vidalia, Wally Moses was extremely fast, so fast that he was called “The Georgia Express.” He was signed by Augusta in the Palmetto League in 1931 after Ty Cobb saw Moses play in a sandlot game. In his first professional season, fans in Augusta would get excited every time Wally got on first base. Moses worked out a signal where he would take off his cap as he got his lead, which told the cheering fans that he was about to run to second. “All the catchers knew when I was going,” Moses said, “but I still got 22 stolen bases that way.”
