Alice Harrison submitted this photo of the Morton Baseball Team, taken about 1910-1915 (as labeled on the back on the photo). Thomas J. Carroll, at about age 16, is sitting under the man on top of the stump. The "mitt" he is wearing, as well as the other mitts seen in the picture are not what you'd see today. Neither are those cleats or that unique bat the young man is holding in the front row.
