vintage baseball 3

If you’re going to play baseball 1860s style, you’ve got to have a coin toss to see who will “strike” or bat first. On Sunday, St. Peter won the coin toss, but St. Croix won the war. Shown here are (from left) Ben Leonard, captain of the St. Peter team, umpire Bob Tholkes and Brent “Skinny” Peterson, captain of the St. Croix team.
