"In the late 1950s the Burbank Police Department sponsored the Police Athletic League (PAL), a summer 12 and under boys' fast pitch softball league. All games were played at Olive Recreation Center and coaches were active BPD officers. My brother and I played for several seasons for the team sponsored by Menasco (an aircraft parts manufacturer in Burbank). We won the championship in 1958 (or maybe 1959), and here we are accepting our trophy at the Starlight Bowl ceremony. (Hoping one of my old teammates sees this.)"
