Early 50's Baseball Team

Jim Strong presented the Signal with the photo above. Mr. Strong, seen kneeling in the front row, was given the photo by Carol Dubois of the Skidmore Historical Society and asked to identify his fellow players. Mr. Strong's recollections are as follows: Back row from left to right; Ruben Shepherd, Charles Blaschke, Danny Amador, and Glen Beyer. Front row left to right; Robert Shepherd, Gilbert Gregorczyk, Dennis* Bohac, Jim Strong, Butch Kelch, Rodney Gregorczyk, and Billy Pickens. The gentleman standing behind the team is yet to be identified although Mr. Strong is pretty sure he was not the coach of the team. Anyone who knows the identity of the man or the first name of the Bohac boy, please leave a note in the comments link below. It is notable that the original Lions Club, chartered back in 1948, sponsored the team. The Lions Club disbanded in or around 1953.

*I believe this is Dennis Bohac. - Linda Sherrod
