LAND SPURTS BASEBALL Baseball was, as always, the most popular sport in camp during the 1967 season. With our two hardball diamonds and two softball diamonds in perfect condition, the season was off to a quick start. Under the watchful eye of our Commissioner and his many assistants, the first week was spent in tryouts, batting and fielding practice and base running. After every boy had earned a spot on a league team based on his own skills, uniforms were drawn, and we prepared for opening day. Our opening day ceremony -this year was high- lighted by a batting clinic conducted by a former big league all star, Tommy Holmes. Tommy played with the then Boston Braves for eleven years and managed the team for two years. With a life time batting average of .303 and a league leading average of .352, a home run leader for two years and twice an all star outfielder, Tommy was an inspira- tion to our young athletes. The proper stance, stride and swing were demonstrated and with a special bat that recorded the swing velocity, many of our boys were checked out under Tommyis watchful eye. It was a thrilling experience to be so close to an all star big leaguer and to learn first hand from him. Inter-Camp Competition Although it did not seem we could improve on our 1966 record, we did that very thing with every division -turning in a winning record! The Eagle-Dodo combination was one of the most successful teams fielded in Ken-Mont's history. MARC WEIN and SCOTTY KRUGMAN were the big pitchers of the staff. SCOTTY was our big fireballing righthander, while MARC depended more on good control and keeping the ball low. MARC beat Scatico 7-2 and Greylock 6-l. SCOT- TY pitched a two hitter against Greylock and beat a team of seventeen year olds from Winadu, 3-2. The SIMON boys, DAVE and MARC were the big sticks in our line-up. DAVE unbelievably averaged 3 hits and 3 R.B.Ifs per game! MARC was a vicious line driver hitter. JEFF LEWIS, our first baseman, always a clutch hitter delivered the key hit of the year against Winadu--a single to drive in the winning run. r BP., f . -- - Y .....:---- ---r'-1-------.1I': '------'.? -4 --. -- --...,, , ,, -..-gl---Q.-'Y-'-f'1-' -. .
