The neighborhood boys from Little Italy.
"We had our own Little League teams: Frank Della Noce Yankees, Kelly & Poggi Cubs, Corky's Tavern White Sox and Bagby Furniture Cardinals. This was opening day around 1962. I am third from the left in first row. How many can you name?"
The baseball field ran next to President Street with the Baltimore City Morgue and Pump Station to the west.
