It’s Mystery Picture Time.

It’s Mystery Picture Time.

Baby Boomers and older, too,

Take a look and tell us who.

This picture of the Monsignor Prevost High School baseball team came out of a box of negatives labeled 1960. As usual, we ask you to share as much, or as little, as you may know about the picture. That mostly involves identifying the players. We’ll also take the location of the picture, and how that team performed. And who knows, maybe it’s not 1960. If you have solid evidence it’s from another year, let us know.

The best collection of info will likely be on Facebook’s HNNow page. This column will also appear on my Facebook, Twitter (GregSullivanHN). Comment under the story on heraldnews.com. Call or write.

(We’re including online a bonus Mystery Picture. Handful of guys at a stadium. The box of negatives was labeled 1959.)

• Let’s see the birth certificate, sister. After seeing that face and listening to her talk, I don’t believe Loyola University Chicago’s beloved Sister Jean is 98 years old. No sir.

• After watching Loyola's South semifinal win from the Bob Uecker seats in Atlanta, Westport's Sam Medeiros was ecstatically surprised to have her seats upgraded to courtside (see photo) for the final win over Kansas State. Medeiros, who loved to use her off (left) hand to shoot in the paint when playing for Westport High, is a junior at Loyola.

• Can go no further without acknowledging the recent death of Bozo the Clown, aka Frank Avruch. Though I was more of a Major Mudd guy, I still respect Avruch’s Bozo work, which included scaring me. That hair and those shoes. Oooohh. Though I likely never watched a full Bozo show, and rarely more than a couple of minutes of any episode (did I mention I was a Major Mudd guy?), I do recall one of his famous lines: “That’s a Bozo no-no.”

Billed as “Bozo, the world’s most famous clown” , the B man may have lived up to that billing. His name remains synonymous with clown and still stands strong in the put-down world. As in, “That guy’s a real Bozo.”

Ah, yes. Bozo. Major Mudd. Rex Trailer. Captain Kangaroo. Romper Room. Bunker Hill (Channel 56). And even Dale Dorman. The golden days of kids’ TV in Providence/Boston.

Speaking of Clowns' deaths, here's the exquisite Mary Tyler Moore Show episode where she loses it at Chuckles the Clown's funeral.

• Concerning the mystery supermarket likely to come to our South End, here’s hoping for ALDI. Second choice, Trader Joe’s. Third choice, let’s go with Almacs.

• The spring high school sports team I’m most pumped about is Durfee High baseball. The Hilltoppers bring back a lot from the 2017 team that was within a whisker of advancing to the D1 South final.

• On the subject of baseball, Durfee grad and former Detroit Tiger minor league catcher Bill Coury, when coaching in high school and American Legion, frequently encouraged his hitters to get in at least 10 good swings when in the on-deck circle. Ten. Great advice, especially wise during those nasty-cold April games.

• Concerning attending any high school event in April, bring the extra layers of clothes, the heavy jacket, warm socks, warm hat. Things can change radically from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and those wide open areas that house fields are known for their wind chill.

• Fully aware of its mention in my previous column, I nonetheless again joyfully announce that Big 3 Conference baseball games will be seven innings regulation. No more nine. Yessss.

• Still my favorite home run of all time? Bernie Carbo’s blast in Game 6, 1975 World Series.

• Looking for big things from both the Case and Diman 4x100 relay teams.

• Miles Finch.
