pictures from Bovina day old-time baseball game between the Bovina Dairymen and the Mountain Athletic Club. final score MAC 12 - BD 11. the game was played in a large field behind the post office on Main Street. the men played without gloves, except the catcher, whose mitt resembled a leather pillow. it was breathtaking to watch high flies to left field being caught bare handed. the uniforms were mighty smart for both teams, with Bovina sporting sharp black suspender trousers, billowy white shirts with front plackets, black ties and caps. the Athletics wore a different sort of look with pullovers that laced up the front and blousey pants tucked into bumblebee yellow and black knee socks. the Dairymen drank their water out of glass milk bottles kept cold in two old milk crates. the backstop was made of hay bales topped with an American flag. the sky was bright blue and the day was pure magic for our family, eating peanuts out of a small paper bag sold to us by a pint sized girl in high top lace up leather boots and a calico dress.
