In June of 1945, Hal Schimling, fresh out of the service in the Pacific, took the train from Tacoma east to join the St. Louis Browns. Hal, who had grown up in the Puyallup area, had been a catcher with the Tacoma Tigers before the war. He was to workout for several weeks with the Browns and then travel to Toledo to report to their farm team - the Toledo Mud Hens. (T.Times, 6/20/1945, p.11) TPL-8673
