Mobile Sea Gulls

From BR Bullpen

The Mobile Sea Gulls played the fastest game in organized baseball history - at the time - on September 17, 1910, beating the Atlanta Crackers, 2-1, in 32 minutes at Ponce de Leon Park in Atlanta, GA; that record was eclipsed by a North Carolina State League game played in Asheville, NC in 1916.
