Posted By: <b>Jerry</b><p>Thats me in the Tools of ignorance circa 1958. We were the Orioles in Senators Flannels. I guess the Senators were so bad at the time they decided to change the name. My favorite player at the time was Del Crandell, mainly because the Braves had beat the hated Yankees in the WS the year before.<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1140673203.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Barry<br /><br />Back in my playing days it was "stick ball" from early<br />morning till sunset. Then on weekends if we could get<br />at least 14 guys together, we would play "Hardball".<br /><br />There were no organized BB leagues in our neighborhood.<br />No screaming parents in the stands......No nasty umpires<br />to argue with......No wire fences to confine us......and,<br />No coaches who favored certain kids (whose parents were<br />constantly "kissing up" to him).<br /><br />It was pure "un-ADULT-erated" joy, playing ball back in<br />late '40s and thru the 1950's.<br /><br />T-Rex Ted <br /> <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>Ted, I too played hard ball until about '61 when i got to play Little<br />League sponsored by the Elks.<br />The Coach, who incidentally, had taken a group before mine to the Little<br />League World Series, surrounded me with bats on the ground each time<br />I got up to bat so I'd quit 'running away' from the ball when the pitcher<br />would throw the curve ball my way.<br />Admittedly, it mainly just taught me how to fall down again and again---<br />and how to win a city championship.<br />Have you found a tintype yet; i'm still lookin'.<br /><br />best<br /><br />barry<br /><br />
