Calling All Altenburg Residents: Share Your Historic Baseball Field Photos

The article titled 'An Appeal for Historic Photos' requests help in collecting historical photographs of a baseball/softball field in Altenburg, in use since the 1930s. Originally, a local baseball team managed by the athletic association used this field. The author, documenting the site's history, notes a shortage of archival images at the local museum.

Gerard, possibly a researcher, has searched for old photographs at the museum but found none. This shortage has led the author to ask the community for help through this article, hoping that some readers might have personal collections with relevant images.

The author is looking for early game action shots, images of the installation of lights, and photos of the grandstand, concession stand, fences, crowds, and teams. Photos where individuals are identifiable are particularly valuable for historical documentation.

Readers with such photos are asked to email digital copies to grumps60@gmail.com. Taking digital photos with a smartphone is suggested for ease of submission.
