We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Bill Lloyd for providing the information about the 1946 Needham Post 14 American Legion Baseball Team.

In 1946 the Needham Post 14 American Legion Baseball Team was comprised of young men ages 15-18 from Needham and Dover. The young men from Dover are pictured above. In those days batting helmets and batting gloves did not exist yet. The uniforms were made of wool, and sliding pads were worn beneath the uniform pants. Needham played their home games at Memorial Field as they do to this day. Memorial Field had the reputation of being the best field in the league. At that time there was a gazebo located beyond center field. Jim McGill once hit a ball off of its roof. Some of Needham's opponents were Brookline, Wellesley, Natick, Norwood, Walpole, Dedham, and Sharon. The Manager in 1946 was Harmon Shufro. He was respectfully refered to as, "Skipper".

                      We're still good sports about it.
This was the second straight year that Swampscott had defeated Needham to win the American Legion Baseball State Championship.  I was unable to make the trip to North Adams for the tournament.  I had to depend on telephone reports each day from the manager to find out how the team had done.
On that final day, with a double-header scheduled against Swampscott I hadn't heard anything.  That night I was lying in bed watching the Channel 5 news broadcast at 11:00 P.M.  At the end of the Sports broadcast Channel 5 Sports Reporter Mike Lynch, (who is from Swampscott), announced that Swampscott had defeated Needham.  I ALMOST FELL OUT OF BED. 
Our players took it as well as could be expected.  However, some of the player's parents didn't fare so well.  Here's what happened to one of them.
