Amish Fall World Series...2006

Holmes County, Ohio...
where  Boy's softball is a tradition..
and played now as much as ever

The tradition of Boy's Softball is  longstanding
in the area around Holmes County, here players
are looking at past tournament pictures. The boys here love to travel and play the "English" teams
14u Amish teams were there in big numbers....
5 of them entered to play the "English" from Eastlake, Oh. and  Clovis, NM
....notice the gloves hung on the fence.....
Amish Youth play softball at an early age!
Amish Schoolhouses have ballfields and the youth grow up playing softball with their classmates. The schools are small and the players stay with the same teams as they age, this makes for great teamwork on the field.
Owens Field....great crowds show up to watch the games even in bad weather like we had!
