As the annual staff hovered around a radio in October, an idea was born. When a faculty member came in to find the score of that day's World Series game, we realized baseball is a sport which interests everyone. The idea that we had? Have baseball as the theme for this 1948 edition of La Betama. This seemed impossible until much thought was given the subject. Or should I say improbable? The staff felt, however, that baseball needed boosting in the South. With our new ball park and the possible resump- tion of interscholastic baseball, we became determined to carry out our seemingly impossible task. Now, the question many of you will be asking: Why, since we're state champs in football, don't we dedicate an annual to football? Admittedly, at the time work began on the book, we had no idea that the Eagles would bring such honor to Brackenridge. We, the teen agers, become interested in football when the first cool breeze blows south from the Panhandle, while at summer's first sign, our minds turn not to baseball but to an array of other activities. We want baseball to be as synonymous with summer as football is with fall. In conclusion, we would like to thank Mr. Bill Osley, president of the San Antonio Mission Ball Club, and Mr. Bill Byrd, ex- ecutive secretary of the same organization, for their helpfulness when we asked for the privilege of taking division page pictures at Mission Ball Park, as they cheerfully got uniforms out of storage and pictures from scrapbooks. For the purpose of interesting you a little more in America's national sport, we devote the l948 edition of La Betama to baseball. Y W Z ,ffadaafefjenaifaan T H-. ,l..Lg
