Here in Western Pa,when coal was still king,the coal companies had baseball teams that I know from hearing stories from my Dad,uncles and others of that generation were paid to play.I'm talking from 1920's-early 1950's quite a few of the guys who played on Coal Co.teams went on to play pro ball.It was just a little surprising to hear it went on in base balls infancy, so to speak!
These type stories I find very interesting and there aren't alot of the old timers who can tell the stories from first hand accounts anymore! Glad you found it interesting,Lou.
