Brooklyn, the Way It Was

It's an excellent history of the area, including the various communities. The photos are priceless. The names of the players of the Bushwicks Baseball team should be included, however. The gentleman on the left in the back row is Fred Hohmann, catcher. The gentleman to the right of Mr. Max Rosner is Patty. He also was a catcher. The gentleman next to Patty Smith is Buck Lai, a Hawaiian. He ran the bases quickly, and was therefore called "Greased Lightnin'". A thoroughly enjoyable experience in nostalgia! Thank you!

A well done photographic and nostalgic journey into New York City's most populous borough. Almost every neighborhood is accounted for.
