Mosby Spartans take Hotchkiss Eagles 5-3 and bring baseball back

Style Weekly gives the cover to the Mosby Spartans and their coach Lawrence Day:
For most of the Mosby players, baseball didn’t exist four months ago. The game played by their fathers and grandfathers, sparking a Civil Rights movement when Jackie Robinson made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, isn’t supposed to be relevant. There are few baseball gloves in the projects, where football and basketball rule the streets, and there’s no good reason to explain why these boys started showing up at dusty Lucks Field after school.
John,
Are the players on the Mosby Spartans provided with gloves, shoes, etc? If not, will they take donations (check or equipment)? I would be very pleased to provide a few gloves or a couple of bucks.
Good story.
ditto that Jim. Please let us know if there is a way that we can help.
da sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I’m sure they would appreciate any donations. I know my post is very very late but if the offer still stands there is always some one at LUCKS field ( in Chuch Hill)that you can talk to about this. Thanks! Proud mom of a Mosby Spartan!
