About Me

My photo
I retired from the food industry (salesman)in 1996.Bought a motor home, stored all the goods that we thought we might need when we found a place to light. Left California, where we were both natives, and took off to see America.After five years we had found the Ozarks of Arkansas and fell in love with the beauty and ruralness. We sold the motor home and bought a home here. Hauled all of our belongings from Calif. found lots of new friends and a good church.Our town and surrounding area has a population of about 11,000. The closest big town is about 12 miles South of us.I belong and sit on the board of the Dover Chamber of Commerce. Life is good here.

Old Time Baseball


A little about the history of the Pacific Coast League in the 1950's. This league at that time was the only league in the West. Older players coming down from the major's and young players who needed another season or two in the minors. The transportation was not as fast then as now. It was difficult for a major league team to call up a player in a hurry. Most young players who were about ready were in the International League back East. They could be called up quickly.More about the teams next time.
