At that time it was the most info you could find on the team in one place. I think it sold for around $18.00 but as I said, getting them to answer the phone was tough way back then.

They do have a website now and their phone number is 215-743-6030

Thanks Mike, I'll give this a try - I'd love to see that.

Jeff, great add! I had no idea about Stockton.

No Yellowjackets here, only Redjackets. They did eventually merge in to one team though and took the NFL out of Minnesota until 1961. Darn Yellowjackets.

Nice photo. The Owatonna Thunderbolt and former Gopher AA.

Did anyone see Creed? One of the gyms was located in Frankford. I had always heard it described as a "suburb" of Philadelphia, but now that I've looked into it, that doesn't seem to be the case at all. It seems calling it a neighborhood would be more accurate.
