An Assortment of Homemade Baseball Cards

Dennis used to make baseball cards out of the pictures that he took. You all know Gene. Harold Wills was a looooonnnggg time manager and player in many leagues. He joined our team as a coach after his team (the Evanston Arrows/Minors) folded. He was a true authority figure, his commanding voice and well-spaced pauses in his speech got your attention. Although he was probably 46 years old (or older!) when he joined us, he contributed as a pinch hitter on many an occasion. The next one is me. Dave Sampson was a fun loving guy who pitched and played infield. He was a fair pitcher, fair infielder and an ok hitter. Tony Greco was talented ball player. He caught and played second base. He had a cannon arm and great reflexes. He used to try and jack home runs and hence flew out a lot. He and Dave Levin used to exchange barbs constantly, with Dave usually winning. I heard that he is playing in an over 30 league now. Carl Dover was an outfielder also equipped with a very strong arm. A fine hitter also, he usually batted leadoff or second. He had a hot temper displayed it constantly. I'm sure that this is helping him out a ton now in his job as an Elk Grove cop.
