Photograph caption date stamped May 11, 1955 reads, "Larry Myers, hard hitting San Fernando High School centerfielder, is shown rapping out a double in the second inning to spark a three-run rally. He got his teammates off to a fast 2-0 lead with a first inning homer too but all this wasn't enough as North Hollywood rallied for eight runs in the sixth frame to win the Valley League tussle, 11-5. Tom Bruno is the North Hollywood catcher. Tom Peoples is umpiring the game that was played on the winner's diamond."
