Since the College World Series is on, I decided to post a photo of my father's baseball team, taken in 1920 when he was 16. He wanted to go to West Point, but life had different plans for him. He worked six days a week, 50 weeks a year at the hardware store he and my uncle owned. He was a brilliant man and made sure all three of this children went to college. A lifelong baseball fan, he loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, until they moved to LA, and then followed the New York Mets.
I know he was a good man because he has such a wonderful daughter! Sacrificial love him to work in the hardware store so his children could go to college! This is a fabulous photo and a great treasure
Thanks so much for the nice comments! I rescued all the old family photos when my mother moved from her last house. I have scanned most of them. My father is standing in the back row, with MPA on his jersey, to the right of the player in the center.
