Shorty Arnzen sent in this photo of a baseball game
at Greencreek taken in the 1920’s. This was taken at the blacksmith
shop looking east. Ball games were usually the Sunday afternoon entertainment.
Shorty’s father Frank was a great baseball player in his day. The game
is being played in Tony Jansen’s pasture. The small building at left was
the road commissioner’s shed. The building near the field is the St. Anthony’s
Hall with a horse barn behind it. The house was the parish priest’s home
with a wood shed and horse barn behind it. Next building to the east is
the old St. Anthony’s Church which burned down in the late 1950’s. The
current brick church was built on the same location. Over 40 automobiles
are shown in the photo. Click on the photo for a larger view.
