So happy Ritchie Allen was finally inducted into baseball’s hall of fame.
Several hall of fame players played at our Beaver Falls field. Honus Wagner, Josh Gibson. Satchel Paige, Ritchie Allen come to mind. Story has it wampun junior legion team played BF there . When BF was constantly pitching around Allen, he stepped over the plate and smacked a way outside pitch to deep right field that one hopped the fence that was , on the old field about a mile away. My Dad told me Bill Midon also one hopped the same fence back in late forties. No one ever hit one over it.

Love it!💚🤍

January 27 is Coach Bruno’s 103 birthday. He was born before (1922) Beaver Falls won their first Football Gold (1928) and before Reeves Stadium was built, and before the old senior high school was built ( now the junior high). Like those rock solid institutions, his legacy will live on through The Larry Bruno Foundation.
Happy Birthday Coach.

Reeves was built in mid twenties, I believe BF started playing there in 1937 after the BF grandstand burned down. The old high school was built in late twenties and open after 1930 when BF merged with College Hill to make BF a third-class city.

Great place to play 🏈

Very nice tribute, happy heavenly birthday!!
