Description

Members of the Wed Hudson A.C. Fastpitch team smile in a posed team photograph donated by Will Gee. Bud Thomsen was a catcher for A.C., which competed in the City League. It was Thomsen who convinced the 6th Avenue merchants to sponsor the team, which was named after Thomsen’s high school teammate, Wes Hudson who was killed while serving in the military. Thomsen, a Stadium High graduate, also played football and swam. Thomsen continued to play fastpitch through the 1950s and was part of the first Metro Tacoma championship team to compete in the Pacific Northwest regional fastpitch tournament sponsored by the Tacoma Athletic Commission. Thomsen went on to play slow pitch in his later years and become a decathlete in his 50s and into his mid-70s. Pictured back row, left to right, Dick Brown, Bob Lewis, Dick Burrows, Mrs. Bud Thomsen (scorekeeper), Dick Pease, Harold Campbell and Lee Irwin. Front row, left to right, Bud Thomsen, Stan Langlow, Lyle Kasbob, Will Gee, Chet Dyer, George Pease. Not included are Orvis Harrelson, Jack Duncan, Bill Fulwiler and Don Eshelman.
