New York State Kiwanis Baseball League Champions, 1947
| Description: |
Airport Kiwanis Club Photo-Ocotober 15th. The Astoria Cubs Baseball Team, 1947 New York State Kiwanis League Baseball Championship Title Holders, were given a courtesy flight over Metropolitan New York and Long Island by American Airlines in honor of their achievement. During the flight, in spite of their enthusiasm of seeing local land marks from the air for the first time, some of the boys were anxious to show Stewardess Priscilla J. Ayer an album of photographs which had been taken during their championship game at Ebbets Field, September 7th. A souvenir album was presented to each player by the Airport Kiwanis Club during a special luncheon which preceded the courtesy flight. The luncheon was held by the Airport Club at LaGuardia Field for the purpose of honoring the local champions, who had been sponsored by the Airport Club in the Kiwanis Baseball League this year. |
