History of Connie Mack Baseball


Detailed below is a history of Connie Mack Baseball, as presented in the 1967 State Tournament Game Program.  This history is followed by a news article and photos associated with a most successful 1967 Nor-Gwyn Knee-Hi (aka Connie Mack) Baseball Team. 

A special Thank You to Nor-Gwyn Hall of Fame's Ed Oswald for sharing this amazing story and historical artifacts.   Please check out the photos of a much younger Nor-Gwyn Manager, Jerry "Ben" Hostelley.  Enjoy!
