Players on the City League clubs are all ages; they come from all walks of life and all sections of Tucson. It's not at all unusual to have fathers playing with or against sons or students playing against their school principals. The league sports ex-professional ball players; current and ex-college athletes; and kids getting their start in baseball. Chet McNabb, the high school principal at Marana, plays in the league as does Bob Honea, Marana postmaster and former University of Arizona basketball star. A practicing attorney, Bernie Weinstein plays for Western States; there are several farmers in the league; and there is one team the Lucky Wishbone made up entirely of salesmen.

Coaches, big business men, an FBI employee, Air Force officers, pilots and day laborers all play ball at Estevan. The program is made possible through the efforts of Loveless Gardner, city recreation director', and his staff. Elmer Carrier, veteran Tucson educator, supervises the program as well as serving as official scorer and public address announcer. SALE EVERYTHING GOES!
