We actually were paid for our efforts, not much, but something to make it worth while.
Eventually my brother expanded into football. In this we were not part of any league again, but would schedule practice games with other teams. One year we went to Preston to play, and another to North Ogden. We also played teams locally, Logan and Smithfield; where they kids had a regular league. Kids had to purchase their own guards, so sometimes were not very well protected. What you buy at the store is sort of crap. However all had helmets. We had some fun times.
Eventually we also included basketball. We organized some pretty nice leagues, and one year had a local tournament. We also participated in Bantam tournaments. I found a letter from Bruce Darley.

We always gathered the uniforms, but the bumper stickers were forced upon us. I think we got them back, but not sure how many we actually sold. We must have sole a few because eventually we did get a pitching machine.
Steve Yeates I remember going to bear lake and malad for football also.
