Photo from Ted Bescanceny Collection. I had to take the boys on right
from a different photo because they were faded out nearly completely on
the first photo and others were faded out on the second. Notice how perfectly
I matched the bricks on the wall although the one boy (one of our two unidentified)
has a misaligned shoulder. |
Identified by Ted (Now 94 years old as of this publication - August 2006)
Ted was a new teacher at the time under the supervision of Dr. Myron
Webster, then Principal of Mansfield Junior High School. He formed this
team and "took them on the road." They won 11 games and lost three according
to the photo label. Ted was then appointed coach of the team he had founded.

Notes from Mike - Mansfield Area Recreational Association began Little
Leauge Baseball around 1951 and most of these guys aged out by 1953. In
1954 we had a rag tag team of some of these guys and several others that
won most of our games. Jimmy Farrell was a left handed pitcher. I was a
catcher and enjoyed his pitching more than any others. He played two years
of professional minor league ball - mostly in relief with a two year career
record of one win, no losses.
Roger Lloyd saved my life as a boy. He served in the U.S. Navy as a
pilot with a very distinguished career.
Alan Best has been awarded a place in the New York State High School
Hall of Fame for his extraordiinary career in coaching girls basketball.
Richard Miller also had an outstanding career in coaching basketball
in Central Pennsylvania.
