Lamberton Long Sox Roster

Fourteen to forty-six

The Lamberton Long Sox publish a roster with jersey numbers, positions, ages, bats and throws, school and experience level. The ages on it start at fourteen and stop at forty-six.

Fourteen is the youngest age recorded anywhere in the Minnesota set. A fourteen-year-old is taking at bats against grown men in an organized league, and in a town of eight hundred that is not a controversy, it is a roster spot that needed filling.

Thirty-two years between him and the oldest man on the same bench.

The roster stays where Lamberton Long Sox put it. Republishing a list of named people with their ages and schools attached is not something a directory gets to decide for a club. Several of them are minors.

Lamberton Long Sox publish a roster on somebody else's platform under somebody else's terms; High Cheese lets the players decide what shows.
