That looks like the team I left when I went to play for Dubrook which turned into Coke. There is Erick Erickson in the back with the glasses. Might be Jeff Smith in the middle, looks like a Karoleski, Maybe Bob Ellinger in front center? I played for the Banks for 1 year then, being a steller baseball player that I was got elevated to Little League where I played a few years with my buddy the administrator on Coke. The administrator was the only athlete in DuBois Little League that had a 33 inch bat at the time. I beilieve his dad had someone lathe it down to fit through the donut so it wasnt too fat at the end. I can't forget who broke that bat.....probably the administrator himself!!!

I can't believe you remembered that bat. I loved that bat, should never have let anyone else use it.
Mike Conway's dad turned the bat down, think he worked at Erickson's. Bob Coccimiglio broke it in practice.
Brucie, do you remember those cheap black barreled Wilson bat's that Louie bought us? They broke like the maple bats of today. I remember you breaking two one night, not just cracking them either, breaking them in pieces.

Yeah, the one was a clean break I think, and the other one kinda shattered. Should never of let cochie use your 33!! If I'm not mistaken, didn't you hit a towering homer with that bat? Whose that cute little guy all the way to the right in the front? ?? |

That is funny, the towering home run. In all my years of playing baseball there aren't that many plays, or hits, that I remember. That home run is one I remember, The spectators told me it hit the old Rockwell building on the first bounce, that was a long way out there. I heard tales of John Miknis hitting one on the Boulevard though...  I can also remember the two home runs you hit, brucie, in one game against Billy Roy. It wasn't how far they went, they probably hit about 10 feet past the right field fence, but how high they were hit, talk about towering. I remember the right fielder going back to the fence and standing there.....waiting for those balls to come down. They must have landed within 5 feet of each other...  |
