Seaford and ESL Stars Dominate 1947 Season Start
Ed Nichols outlines Bobby Westfall taking the Seaford Eagles into a new managerial era in the Eastern Shore League. The piece highlights Westfall’s return from military service, prior batting prowess, and drive to lead with hustle, plus McKinnon’s appointment as Rehoboth skipper and Kibler’s pace reforms. It notes Don Petchow’s early hot bat for Cambridge and a tight early pennant race with Seaford and Seaford-Eagles as top contenders.
