With the American Legion World Series coming to Spokane Aug. 13-17 at Avista Stadium, we asked readers to share some of their Legion memories. We have picked a few to run each week leading up to the World Series.
It was 1964, I think, and I played for Barstone Fuel, North Central’s sponsor for Legion ball then. We played the majority of our games at Underhill Park in those days. Dirt infield, no outfield fence, but great lights – it was the place to be if you wanted to play American Legion baseball. My American Legion baseball experiences were fun, instructive and created a love for baseball that has never gone away.
