Time Travel: A Dominant Bridgeport All Star Team and a Ride to 1932 to Fill Up with Gasoline in Grafton
By Dick Duez on July 28, 2024 from History Blog
This photo was submitted many years ago by Crystal Camp, formerly of Bridgeport. According to Chris Kerr, who was a member of the team, it is the 1991 12-year-old Little League All Star team. He provided the names of the players, starting in the front row from left, David Fragale, Brian Zickefoose, Philip Cropp, Craig Trippett, Chris Kerr, and Jeff Aman. Back row, from left, Jason Crawford, Brian Arthur, Gary Dodril, Crystal Camp, Dan McNamee, Nick Martin, Donnie Lindsey, and Scott Hineman.
This photo, which shows south Grafton in the background, was taken in 1932. The gas station was under the Pure Oil banner and at that time most folks referred to them as filling stations.
