Description
It's a sunny day (June 24, 1934) at South Side Park and a group of twenty six men who have gathered for an old timers' game of baseball pose for this photograph. Most of the men are wearing caps, some with initials or unique stripes, and baseballs, bats and gloves are clutched by many. Sacramento's baseball heritage can be traced back to November 1859 when the "Daily Union" announced the organization of a Sacramento Base Ball Club.
