Jimmie Foxx Remembered |
The weekend of September 30 - October 1st was a very special time in the small town of Sudlersville, Maryland as it hosted visitors in conjunction with the Queen Anne County's "Pathway's to our Past" celebration. The setting was made even more beautiful as the weather cooperated with two fantastic fall days. The weather and the crowds were brisk as many stopped by the Sudlersville Train Station Museum to take in the fine displays that included a section dedicated to the former Athletics & Red Sox great. The A's Society was present and had many of the fine quality items of sportswear available normally through the Gift Shoppe for the local residents to purchase. The following photographs are an illustration of the weekend's activities and some of the visitors to the Museum and Society tables. |
