Below is Joe Corn. He played in an over-35 league for a team sponsored by HRI (a local company) in the State College, PA area in the early 1980s. And he still uses that same bat today!

Between 1973 and 1975, Joe Corn was stationed on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands while working for Raytheon.  “Being in the tropics, we could play ball virtually all-year-round.” he says. “I was playing for the company team, and here are photos with some of my teammates and one with me at bat. Later several of us formed a rival team, the Renegades, which won the island championship.” In the first photo, Joe is on the far left with no hat. These photos were probably from 1973. 

Below is a 1967 photo of Phil Polakowski at St. Peter’s High in Worcester, MA.
