May Photo

May Talk Story photo - 1961 CYC Braves  

The May Talk Story photo is of the 1961 CYC Braves.  Tentative identifications to date are still a little sketchy, but this is what we think we know.  Second from the left and kneeling might be Stacy Ino.  On the furthest right and standing could be Wade Hojo.  And standing fourth from the right is possibly Richard Komoto!  While it is difficult to remember all of the names and faces, Rich remembers team practices at Culver West Park (aka West End Park.)

Thanks to Richard and Carolyn Komoto for the information.  If anyone can identify the remaining eight players and the Braves’ coach, please email us at talkstory@vjcc.com.
