Tuckerton High School 1948 Baseball Team

I noticed that a few New Gretna boys were on the Tuckerton High School baseball team when I was posting photos for Bob Sutton's New Gretna baseball list on the March 2, 2011 Blog and thought baseball fans out in the Blog-O-Sphere might enjoy seeing a vintage photo of a Tuckerton High School baseball team.



Any comments about a player in the photo would be appreciated.

Here's the 1950 Tuckerton High School baseball team. Unfortunately, I don't have the names of the team mates. I could use some help there.

Tuckerton High School Baseball Team - 1950
Row 1 (Front, l-r): Bill Sooy, Bob Haas, Joe Marshall (from Parkertown) Jim Mascola, Howard Rossell, Ernie Thompson, William Kidd. Row 2: Bob Sutton, Walt Peer?, Bob Walton, Jimmy Hand, Mason Price, George Irons, Harvard Allen, Bob Suralik, Coach William Hendricks. Row 3: Coach Henry Boney Sr., Sonny Kunen, Nelson 'Squak' Cramer, Mike Bailey, Allie 'Inkie' Goldberger, Charlie Hartley. Row 4: Chuck Schellenberger, Bob Bourguignon, Harold Sprague?. Names from Shirley W comment below with some minor corrections from Bob Sutton.

Well, I hope that these photos have gotten you in the spirit of this year's spring training. I can't wait for the regular season to start. Go Yankees!

  1. Hi Pete.

    I think I recognize 2 of them.

    Front row. Second from left I believe is Bob Haas.

    Back row. Fourth from left, the tall guy looks like Bob Bourguignon.

  2. Les and I went over the 1950 Tuckerton baseball team photo and came up with the following names: Row 1 (Front, l-r): Bill Sooy, Bob Haas, Joe Marshall (from Parkertown) Jim Mascola, Howard Rossell, Ernie Thompson, Jackie Ball. Row 2: Bob Sutton, Walr Peer?, Bob Watson,Jimmy Hand, Mason Price, George Irons, __?__, Bob Suralik, Coach William Hendricks. Row 3: Coach Henry Boney Sr., Jerry Mott?,Nelson 'Squak' Cramer, Mike Bailey, Allie 'Inkie' Goldberger, Charlie Hartley. Row 4: Chuck Schellenberger, Bob Bourguignon, Harold Sprague?. As you can see from the question marks, we were not sure about a few names.

  3. Shirley and Les,

    Thanks for the names of the 1950 Tuckerton baseball team members. Hopefully, someone out in the Blog-O-Sphere can confirm or correct the names you had a "?" by.

  4. Row 2, second player could be my cousin Walter Peer. He almost would have to have been a senior in High School by 1950. I cannot find a birthdate for him. He lived in Manahawkin. Did kids from Manahawkin go to Tuckerton HS?

  5. I am working in a group of five researching the Javitt’s and Tower Amendments to Title IX. Out of four format choices, we have decided to create a ten-minute documentary. This format requires extensive visuals, and we have come across the above picture of the 1950 team. Do we have permission to use the it in our documentary?

    You can contact me through email at jritcheyrich@gmail.com. If you’d like to know more about the National History Day program, you can visit their website at www.nhd.org.

    Thank you very much,
