Joe Corey Participates In The 18th Annual Old Time Baseball Game

Becker College senior outfielder Joe Corey (Billerica, Mass.) recently took part in the 18^th annual Old Time Baseball game at Saint Peter's Field in Cambridge Massachusetts.

The annual event is made up of players from colleges and universities from the Boston area, with an occasional high school player or retired major leaguer thrown into the mix. Joe has had the honor of being teammates with former Red Sox players such as Lou Merloni (Pictured with Joe Corey below) and Johnny Peskey. 

This summer marked the third time Joe has competed in the Old Time Baseball game. The game celebrates the U.S. national pastime as it was played around the turn of the century. The game is noted for the collection of authentic wool uniforms. This year Joe had the honor of donning a 1939 Ted Williams replica uniform. During Joe's first time participating the Old Time Baseball Game he had the opportunity to wear the 1944 replica uniform of St. Louis Cardinal's Hall of Famer Stan Musial. Last year he wore a 1918 Chicago Cubs uniform. Joe admits that there was something extra special about wearing Teddy Ballgame's uniform.  "Being from the Boston area all you hear about growing up is how great Ted Williams was, to be able to wear that uniform was an honor", said Joe.

 This year's game was played as a benefit for the C2 Mission, which was created to benefit children families affected by Cerebral Palsy and Cystic Fibrosis.
