Albion baseball team in 1933
By Bill Lattin
Orleans County Historian
ALBION – The Albion High School baseball team had its picture taken in 1933 in front of what was then the Albion High School on East Academy Street. (The building is now the Albion Academy and is used for senior citizen apartments, Nutri-Fair and the Arc of Orleans County.)
What is really great about this picture is that all the players are identified.
The team includes the bat boy in front named Richard Foster.
