Scope and content
Old-timers baseball night at T.A.C. Tacoma's Tollefson brothers, pictured above on May 9, 1969, could have formed their own infield as each was a good athlete. Oldest brother and former congressman Thor (L) played shortshop; attorney Erling was the first baseman and banker Rudy (R) played third. Brother Harold, former mayor of Tacoma, (not shown) was the second baseman. They were attending the first old-timers baseball night held at the Tacoma Athletic Commission which included a social hour and dinner. Many Tacoma baseball greats attended the function including Chet Johnson, former lefty with the old Tacoma Tigers and old St. Louis Browns, who gave a brief speech. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma Athletic Commission. (TNT 5-9-69, D-3)
