South Georgia Peanuts hitting coach Larry Olenberger discusses some of the league's problems with manager Wally Backman. Specifically, the two were referring to multiple instances where the opposing manager didn't know the National League rules and/or made a lineup mistake during a pitching change. Under league rules, Backman could have had the opposing manager ejected from the game for the mistake, but he never did.

The Peanuts were confined to the dugout in Anderson, SC during a pregame rain delay before a game against the Anderson Joes. Because of the rain, the team was not allowed on the field, but the field lacked a clubhouse - resulting in several hours of milling about the dugout.
