Little League teams
Many different social organizations and business in the Ellwood City Area have sponsored baseball and softball teams in Ellwood City. I grew up playing for the McElwains in the farm League and for the Moose Little League team. Other teams included the S.O.I. team, the Eagles, V.F.W., Jaycees’s, Kiwanis, Elks, and many more including the Beatrice Sporting Goods Little League Team shown here.
Players on that Beatrice team are left to right front row…Coach Wally Weich, Russ Rangel, Michael Morrow, Chad Weich, Elliot Pecoraro (not sure of the spelling) Eric Buzzard, Greg Brandt, Kasey Greco
Left to right row 2….unknown, Domenic Domaggio, unknown, Landon Costa
Left to right row 3….Coach Victor Rangel, Coach Bill Brandt, Coach Don Buzzard
A great thing about this picture is the background. Do you remember the flimsy wooden fences in the outfield of not only the small fields but also in the large Sanders Field. If this picture was taken in the same spot today, the only thing you would be able to see in the background would be a gaint scoreboard. Since it was not, we get the oppurtunity to see the old Freidhoff field before it was moved back into the hillside.

YIKES! Can’t believe this picture’s on the Internet! Great post, regardless. While I can’t recall the girl’s name (first unknown, back row), I want to say her name is Danielle. As for the other unknown, it was Donald Parker.
