VFW Cowboys On Horses Provide Laughs At Greeneville Tourney
MORAVITS and the VFW softball team recently returned from a national tourney in Greeneville Tennessee after a funny parade through town. Baytown players Leon Sanders John Tharp Kenneth uh and Bill Brown rode horses to the center of attention while Greeneville locals gaped. Downhill outfield hills caused misplays leading to laughs as Bradbury Lamb and Don Lamb chased fly balls uphill and long hits sailed over Moravits. A car mixup during travel added to the humor before Baytown's senior division bid included forfeits and losses to Henrys Barbers and Springfield following early wins in the tournament.
