That was dur- ing a period, when there were a large number of good legion teams. Hartford had just won four titles in a row and had kids from about seven schools” and they were BF’s victims in the finals. Brattleboro won the next year, when BF had Fisk and sev- eral teams, including BF were good enough to win. Ryan notes, “Our Legion title was quite unexpected, because we didn’t have a quantity of pitching, BUT we were able to play fantastic and pull it out.” A pitcher from Springfield, Terry Wheelock made a difference in the long run and they would not have won without him, BUT this title team was primarily an extension of BF High School. Tom Esslinger from Alstead was the only other non-Terrier on this teams roster. They participated in the Regionals in Manchester, NH and were eliminated in two games, BUT played Warrick, RI tough to the end, almost forcing extra innings before being eliminated. There were several players from other schools on the 2006 BF title team. Bob Lockerby said. “It was an incredible feeling playing there. Everything was done well and that field was another step up.” That year the regional was held in Brockton, Mass. and the BF team more than earned their way there by playing don’t give up baseball to advance. Legion tournaments are double elimination affairs and BF lost to Rutland out of the gate in Vermont Tourney action and had to play an extra game to get back even. They advanced to the Finals with Bennington waiting without a loss. Being down a game was not enough for Post 37 to handicap themselves. How about the fact, they allowed Bennington to jump in front 10-0. You did read that right 10-0. They came back and won that contest to force one final game, which they also won to advance.

The BF team had defeated Walpole by By the way, don’t tell this group, they aren’t expected to be state champs. They the same 4-3 score on a walk-off hit earlier this year.

Then, he started wondering this spring IF they might be a slight possibility of getting in uniform on a partial contract, IF some shrunk to five teams, BUT this year that may be one of the reasons the chase for to compete hard, until they are eliminated. One of the biggest reasons this team the top spot is so exciting. The Walpole victory over BF allows them to stand at 5-2 stands a chance is because as history dictates, they have players on the roster from players reported late. THEN the word came that he would permanently be on the team. THEN, he pitched so well, he was named the teams’ closer.
