Is there a website that posted pictures of the 65 Twins who were at the reunion?
Thanks for stopping by Rick, I am working on getting some photo’s.
Back in the early 60’s I played ball with Jerry Fosnow and Rich Reese on the team Ottawa Merchants. Seeing their names on the 1965 roster brings back a lot of good memories. Enjoy the reunion.
Thanks for stopping by Ron. It is always cool to hear from somebody that knows and or played with former Minnesota Twins. I can’t find anything on the Ottawa Merchants, what can you tell me about them and your time with them? Do you have any images you could share? Have a great day! John
Ottawa Merchants was a team located in Ottawa, Ohio and we played teams our age located in the Lima, Ohio area. Most of the guys came from Legion teams in the area. Rich and Jerry played with Merchants before joining the Detroit Tigers. I have forgotten when the Merchants team went of existance.
Thanks Ron, I just assumed that Ottawa was the one in Canada…….
