From the Archives: Lemont's Boys of Summer, 1928

With Cubs and Sox Spring training just around the corner, baseball season won’t be far behind. This week, the historical society takes us back to summer memories of the crack of a wooden bat and the thrill of a favorite player rounding the bases. 

Members of the 1928 Lemont baseball team are, from left, bottom row: George Freehauf, Pete M., Syl Nona, Jim Lynch, Tom Hennebery, Tye Krivikas, Dan Larson and  H. Sniegowski; and top row:  Phil Steck, John Dillman, John Alfelt, John Goodwin, Alex Novak, Ray Goodwin and Joe Summers.
