School and time march on, the team plays, the majority of students dont know if weve won or lost, very few even know the score, and some dont even know weve played. If we are so enthusiastic about the other sports, then why not baseball? Baseball Team For 53 Dean Maiben, pitch, sophomore. Jack Clarke, catch, junior. Dave Wilkinson, catch, junior. senior.
