Home Run!

A sepia and black image of a young boy playing baseball outside. He is holding a baseball bat and appears to have just finished swinging it. The boy is staring off into the distance and looks like he is about to start running. In the background a tall chain link fence is visible as well as a shorter wooden picket fence behind it. There is a small caption in black text underneath the image.

Aurora Banner (July 29, 1964)

Ever since baseball arrived in Aurora in the 1870s the Town Park ball diamond has been the perfect place for youngsters to practice hitting home runs.
