I began using the word "legendary" in this blog way back in November 2005 when I started posting. Now, nearly 5,000 pages later, I am still looking for another synonym with which I can replace that tired adjective. Be that as it may, the Trenton Schroth Post 93 teams through all the years has been an organization of incredible consistency and talent. Hey; I didn't have to use "legendary!"-

IT WAS MY AMBITION WHEN I WAS YOUNGER TO MAKE THE SCHROTHS TEAM. I WAS FACINATED BY THE ATTRACTIVE JACKETS EACH PLAYER WERE GIVEN AFTER THEIR SEASON WAS OVER. OF COURSE MY YEAR HAPPENED TO BE THE YEAR THAT THE HAMILTON POST BEAT US WITH A GREAT TEAM, BUT WITH "CHUCK", IT WAS DIFFERENT, THEY WENT ALL THE WAY DURING THE THREE YEARS THAT HE PLAYED AND WE WERE THERE ALONG WITH BUS SAIDT IN INDIANAPOLIS TO SEE IT. I KNEW ALL THOSE PLAYERS ON THE 1934 TEAM ABOVE AND LATTER ON COMPETED AGAINST MOST OF THEM IN OTHER LEAGUES. BEST REGARDS.
