Photo Archivist's Selection of the Month: April 2008

Baseball in Stamford

Now that the baseball season has begun again, Mike Pastore and Ron Marcus thought it a good idea to check our archives for baseball in Stamford. Mike found a few photos, and the library (Ron) produced a huge collection of Annual Sports Dinner & Awards Night brochures of the Old Timers' Athletic Association of Stamford to choose from. Of course, the Athletic Association represents several sports besides baseball, such as football, boxing, golf, etc., so stay tuned for sequels.
