From the "BASEBALL" folder in the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection, this graphic has been preserved for posterity. There are many familiar names in that photo, including Ron Schnorbus, who went on to greater things in local Trenton area baseball history.From Ralph Lucarella:
Hi Tom: Thank you very much for the photo of the 1946 Logues. That is my younger brother Joe(Chuck)Lucarella in the first row. The Logues was the beginning of a great era for Chuck. He went on to play with Trenton High, 3 years with the Schroths and then played short stop with the University of Wake Forest in North Carolina. He was captain of Wake Forest the same year Arnold Palmer was captain of the golf team. The New York Yankees sponsored him in a league in New England composed of college players. While at home, he was involved in a serious car accident which ended his baseball days and allowed him to attend Medical school. He became a heart specialist in the Chambersburg area and tragically passed away at age of 56. He overcame many bad breaks to become a doctor. may God Bless Him and may he rest in peace.
Regards, Ralph
Thanks, Ralph; once again an interesting addition to local history.
