This sounds like a lot of fun, I hope to attend. I,m from Portsmouth ohio. We too have great baseball heritage like Newcomersville. Two of our Pro Ball Players played with the Great CY YOUNG. Harry "DUDE" Blake was a teamate on the SPIDERS , and Al Bridwell at the end of CY's career. I have an articile which says Harry Blake's son wrote a letter to the festival's committee sharing his memory of Cy and Harry's friendship. It goes on to say this letter was printed in the local paper. Can anyone tell me how to find out if this letter is on fileor still exist?? Some of our other Pro Ball Players are Branch Rickey , Gene Tenace, Al Oliver to name a few. Is there a display of Cy Young's memorialbilia ? A Museum?
