Baseball has always been very popular in Littleton both for school children and adults. From our Littleton Massachusetts 1714-2014 book: ” Initially coached and funded by Robert ‘Buzzy” Cozzens. the Hornets were part of the American Legion summer baseball program for teenagers from 1947-1957. The Hornets had an avid following and a rivalry developed with the teams from Acton, Carlisle, Concord and West Concord.”
We have the 1950 roster printed in the Lowell Sun I think Eddie Hunt is first row on the left and that must be a Hunt fourth from the left in the second row. Is that Kenny Johnson in the second row on the right? Can anyone help name the rest of the team?
My dad, Harold (Jim) Hunt is the little guy in the front row – 5 from left. He has this photo in his home and can name all of his teammates. His brother, Eddie, is front row, first boy on left.

Great picture. I remember my dad taking us to the games. I was 8.
My father loved to be the coach. He talked about it so often.
