ballbreaker:
Thank you for your contribution to this site.
These are great photos, and give us a view to a team and time long ago.
Nothing demonsterates history better than old large-format Black and Whites.
The C-Hose photo might be in the 50's as I have never found any results for the Ballbreakers after 1959.
Again, thanks!

BELLMORE BALL BREAKERS PICS?

MY FATHER IN LAW STARTED WITH BELLMORE, BEFORE LINDY. DOES ANYONE HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY PICS OF THE MOTORIZED TEAM, MAYBE BETWEEN EARLY '50S AND LATE '60S?
IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

That old Bellmore B rig is the truck that Deer Park now runs.

Sorry BTritone, but you're confusing the two trucks. The Bellmore truck in the preceding picture is indeed the truck that Deer Park now runs. It started with Bellmore, went onto Wantagh for a brief run, then to Brockport (Port City Raiders),then to Hamlin and now in Deer Park.
The old Deer Park truck you're talking of started out with the GCP Mustangs, went onto West Babylon, Deer Park, Middle Island (for 1 year), and is now owned by Huntington Manor where it rarely sees the light of day.

Thanks Circus,
Could not tell with team members in the way. I thought it looked dfferent then the other rig , nowadays every team alters these rigs so much.So i was taking a guess.

This is from the 1959 Nassau County Drill in East Meadow. The drill was held in the parking lot of the old Modells Shopping Center. The track raced east to west. The street behind the stands is Hempstead Turnpike. Great pics! |
