This baseball season at RFH promises to be a home run hit, as bases are loaded with team cheer all about playing the field again. It’s spring and high school baseball season is officially in swing.
It’s not every day that a casual baseball game causes a player to levitate — just one day back in the 1970s.
We’re not sure of exactly what happened here on the field, but RFH yearbook photographer George Day caught this home run of a shot — mid-air.
Continue reading Retro RFH Boys’ Jump for Baseball JoyIn an effort to pay homage to baseball season, these RFH baseball of a more casual kind retro pics, originally posted on April 10, 2019 are being reprised. Have you ever had a tackle strategy like this in your ball game?
Isn’t football the tackle sport? Well, that may be, but by the looks of things in this 1970s home run classic in the outfield, these RFH baseball players paid no mind to standard sports protocol. It was really all about the fun and laughs for them.
Spring is in the air — sort of — and it’s just about batter up time at RFH.
So, on the cusp of spring, our Retro Pic of the (George) Day also commemorates the coming of the baseball season — the warm-up, the game and all.
Here’s a shot from the 1970s of some RFHers playing ball. The batter up? Recognize him? How about those teammates on the sideline?
Remember these uniforms?
Thanks, again, to George Day for this and so many other great photos!

That’s just what these RFH boys of the 1970s did, and with frequency. There was no major organization or uniforms involved in their free time ball games. It was just a few RFH guys, a ball, some mitts, bats, topsiders and Adidas instead of cleats, some groovin’ 70s clothes and a lot of fun.

Continue reading Retro RFH Batty Baseball TimesWe’ve been talking a good game of baseball lately. Everyone has. It’s the season, after all. And, looking back, decades back, it’s been all about the boys.
That’s because it was a guy’s game decades ago. There was one girl on the RFH team. She was a pioneer. Then the girls got their own team.
That was in the late 70s or early 80s. We’re not sure of the exact year.
But, it’s time we say, “Let’s hear it for the girls!”
So, take a gander back at an RFH girls’ baseball team and coach.
Know these ladies? We spy one from Fair Haven. The coach?
Here’s to a home run of an RFH Baseball season and lifetime friendship!
