Media team, Delco Valley League, 1947
(Probably left to right). Front row: Conrad "Connie" Brown, Fats Baldwin, Henry Schuhardt, Miller Young, Pete Baldwin, Bill Snyder. Middle row: Lefty Johnson, Reds Larkin, Frank Baldwin, Lefty McCullough, Lefty Paige. Back row: Ivan Malseed, Ray Worrall, Ernie Yarnall, Francis "Bub" Malseed, Charles Williams, Tom Singleton. This was identified as the 1941 Media team, but this is incorrect. The H. Walker Yarnall trophy, shown in the photo, was a memorial award (presented to the league championship team) established after the death of Henry Walker Yarnall, who was league vice-president at the time of his death in 1947. Media won the trophy that year, and in 1954, but this photograph (based in newspaper research comparing box scores to the names listed above) is most likely showing the 1947 team. For same team in uniform, see P-15029.
