Eads of Bremerton, Wash., met Tom Greenwood, who shared this story.<p> The year was 1960, about 50 years ago now, and I was experiencing my first year of classroom teaching and coaching varsity baseball and basketball near Arlington Memorial High School in the southern Vermont town of Arlington. </p><p> On this particular early spring day, our baseball team boarded three or four station wagons and departed midday over the mountain to play an early season non-league scrimmage game against Jacksonville/Whitingham on a field there that appeared to be in the middle of an old pasture.</p>
