MOOREFIELD's baseball team 1908. Almost every town had their baseball team, made up, primarily, of local men and boys, but augmented by a good pitcher and a home run hitter or two. A fellow who could "win games" could earn a good wage working (or at least getting a paycheck) for a local merchant or banker, so he could play on the town team. Having the best team in the area was something every town would strive for. Serious business, this baseball, second only to horse racing for money bet on the outcome.
