My uncle and his sandlot crew, Deer Park, New York, early 1970s

What about it?

Was processing slides for my family and I thought this picture was pretty cool. Half-expecting for that catcher to rip of his mask and yell “you’re killing me smalls” at someone.

My grandma and her squad at medical school. Havana, Cuba, November 1959

What about it?

My grandma was studying to be a doctor before the Castro regime went into full chaos mode. From what I understand, they were all expelled for protesting something, and in the next few months after this picture was taken, every single one of these people was imprisoned or emigrated to New York/Miami. She (bottom right) never became an MD, but she got a doctorate in math education about 30 years after this, so Ill count it.

This was a real photo post card I found and scanned. I think this was somewhere in Pensilvania or New York State. In present time these kids would be scrolling in Reddit.
