The nine men are dressed in uniform; a few of the men have their bats and mitts with them. Three of the team mates can been seen with $10.00 bills on their knees. Bodie was one of the many mining towns that boosted a baseball team. Baseball provide entertainment for many Bodie citizens. The baseball field was located at Booker Flat. The area proved an idle place for pastime, Bodie resents could picnic near the aspen groves and enjoy the game. [Geissinger, Images of America Bodie 1859-1962, page 2, 32.]
