Who Am I

Subject: Porterdale baseball

I am the grandson of John Thomas (Tom) Baird who grew up in Porterdale.  He was the son of Benjamin Wilson Baird and Ieula Ann Dick Baird.  He played baseball for the Mill team along with his brother Jack.  From what I have been told he was the best pitcher they had ever seen.  He was even recruited by the St. Louis Cardinals.  I was wondering if anyone has pictures of the ball team from the mid 1930’s to 1940.   I would love to see my grandfather in his prime. 

Thank you, 

Jared Lathem
