James Allen Hoey Benefit Baseball Game, 1973. These four film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show a youth baseball game being played at Homann Park in Lacey, Washington.
The images in group "b" show a man with a megaphone, Girl Scouts with an American flag, and approximately twelve young boys standing in a line.
The baseball game seen in these images was held as a fundraiser for James Allen Hoey, a seven-year-old boy from Lacey who was very severely injured after accidentally falling through a skylight at Chinook Junior High School. James Allen Hoey passed away as a result of his injuries before this benefit game took place.
