When Towns Had Teams (Jim Baumer)

Chapter 9: Growing Up Baseball: My Own Roots in Local Baseball

Baumer reflects on his experiences with Maine amateur baseball. From his experience as a young fan of the Lisbon-based Roberts 88ers in the late 1960s, to his days playing catch in the backyard and high school and American Legion games on local diamonds, to his experiences as both a player and an administrator in amateur baseball in Maine.
