Tonopah Mollycoddlers - Nevada - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Long Sleeve T-Shirt san gabriel the club carried Reidsville's identityTonopah was a high desert silver mining boomtown in 1907, the kind of place where a strike could make a man rich overnight and a saloon brawl could turn deadly just as fast. The Mollycoddlers (turn of the century slang for someone considered overly soft or pampered, almost certainly chosen as a tongue in cheek jab at rival mining towns) took the field as a charter member of the four team Nevada State League, alongside Carson City, Goldfield, and Reno.
