But one of his teammates was Elston Howard. Great catcher. I think the article on Earl equates Battey with Howard. A good friend told me about a book he's reading titled "Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments". I have it in my Kindle e—reader; haven't got around to it yet — it might be a book you'd enjoy.

It has been a very long time since I have talked baseball. The game, IMO, has gotten too far away from the sport in which I participated and become big business centered on dollars and zooming in on catchers' signals from the outfield — flagrant cheating — and stuff like that.

At any rate I'm hoping to find a local Little League for whom I might take game pictures. From the little I can recall I loved playing second base and enjoying an orange soda pop after the games, win or lose. I do remember my father was known as a very good American Legion league right — handed pitcher well before I was born, yet, he still could throw a knuckle to me in our back yard. At his advanced age he nearly fell over at release, but by then he was laughing out loud while I usually had to chase the ball which had gotten away from me.

When you played, which position(s) did you play?

Thanks,
Allan
