How became involved with vintage base ball: I saw a match that was played on Mackinac Island, Mich. and fell in love with it. After talking with a few ballplayers, they informed me that a team was forming in the Milwaukee area. I looked into it as soon as I returned, and was able to find out about the tournament being held at Trimborn the following weekend. The day of the tourney, I made a connection with Handlebar, and joined the Milwaukee Cream Citys the following season. I have been playing ever since!
