A Few More Non-Baseball
I forgot to post these two so here they are.
1972 U.S. Olympic Wrestling team. Mailed from Munich during the games. Tallest athlete in the back row is Ken Patera. He made a name for himself in pro wrestling. Man on the left with the glasses is John Terpak. Competed in the 1936 and 1948 Olympics. He was a world champ in 1937 and 1947.
1904 Olympics - men competing in the high bar. This may be practice as the photo is dated in pencil July 26,1904 and there were no events on this day. There were gymnastics events two weeks later (Bohemian Gymnastics) and also as part of track and field at the end of August. Not all of the events in St Louis in 1904 were Olympic events. There were high school, AAU and other events which were all part of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition aka 1904 Worlds Fair.
