For years the Clinch River Little League has taught sportsmanship and teamwork to local youngsters. Many coaches and sponsors have worked to build an impressive little league legacy. Our community has benfitted from this valuable use of the time, patience, and effort of these volunteers. We are thankful for people like them.
Pictured here are some little league players from 1975 – a mere 43 years ago! I don’t have the team rosters handy to include at this time, but I will add the players’ names later if they can be found. Meanwhile, if you recognize yourself in one of the pictures, please let us know in the comments area provided.
I recognize some of the coaches, Roger Salyer, Senators; Blue Kiser and Charlie Collins, Giants; Eddie Horne, Braves; Junior Austin, Dodgers. Others are familiar, but can’t name them!
Me, Wesley Adams, Senators, First row, far left.
What about the Royals?
Bryan, for whatever reason there was no picture of the Royals in that set. I do have a photo of the Royals from 1973, though. I may post that set in the future, so keep watching.
Some fo these teams our “Senior League” Teams not Little League Teams.
Tell me which ones and I’ll change the story.
