History repeats itself. I took this photo in Greenwich, England - TopicsExpress



          

History repeats itself. I took this photo in Greenwich, England about a bizarre game of Cricket between navy pensioners missing limbs. Now I just read about a baseball game held in Philadelphia in the 1880s between the Snorkey Baseball Club and The Hoppers, all employees who had lost limbs working for the Reading Railroad. The Snorkeys were each missing an arm and the Hoppers were all one legged. The Snorkeys won 31-11. (One Snorkey had lost his arm at Gettysburg).
