1958 Western Division Little League Champs in Portsmouth, Ohio

Civic Forum

 

The year was 1958 in Portsmouth, Ohio, and a Little League team by the name of Civic Forum won the Western Division and became Little League Champions!!!…

All Little Leaguers at that time dream of being in the Major Leagues…

Unbeknownst to these teammates they were playing with a future Major Leaguer by the name of Al Oliver…

Al is top row, 3rd from the left…

Standing to Al’s right is Jim Russell who submitted this photo…and we Thank him for this!!!…

The Coach of these young Champions is Mr Jones…

What an exciting time.
