The '45 Triplett boys of summer
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Earlier this month we posted a photo of the famous 1944 Triplett men's softball team. We've now uncovered the 1945 team, with many of the same players. After seven games this team was undefeated, according to the report in the Triplett employee newsletter.
By clicking on this photo you'll see the names of the players (Lynn Carmack is the team mascot in the very front).
Open the attachment below to read additional information about the team.
Had the Bluffton High School "Cappy Clark Award" existed in the 1940s, most of these team members would have been candidates for the award.
