Kornoff Brothers Softball Team (c. 1939)
If anyone ever asks why I like baseball or why I can never remember all the names of my cousins and relatives....here is a good reason why!
I'm not sure when the names and titles were added, but I'm happy cause it makes it easier for me to point out that my Grandfather was Nick and he play shortstop.
They made challenges to other teams to only play with 9 players (no subs)....and according to my father are in the Guinness Book of World Records as a One Family team...though I've never been able to find that proof.
Edit: someone sent me a link that referenced "Ripley's believe it or not". And while there is still no concrete proof; this is more plausable.
I just wish I still had grandpa's glove, but my sister took that...seriously pisses me off cause I played softball more than she did...but that's a distraction, I love this photo just as much because of the memories: like the time grandpa actually came and watched me play, or all the time I spent out at their house (which is how I found his old glove in the first place)
