Through the cooperation of BJ’s Sportcards, our Hatboro neighbor, we were delighted to entertain a dozen members & parents of the ABINGTON CUB SCOUT TROOP # 1 ages 8-12.

Each attendee was given door prizes that consisted of a scarce Hartland Bat Boy figurine, a box of Cracker Jacks and an unopened pack of baseball cards. Baseball from the era on display in the Museum was basically new to these youngsters however they stood wide eyed in front of the display of the autographed baseballs of legends Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig as one 8 year old commented, “He used to hold the home run record, huh?”

The Society encourages visits from groupd such as this in order to tell the history of another era of baseball.
