CAN YOU TELL WHO’S WHO?
Shown here together are the popular Norton
twins of our Ecusta baseball team. If you have
trouble telling them apart on the field: Luther,
standing, is a right-hander and Dennis seated, is
the southpaw. Unless they switch gloves on you
then you too can call them by their correct names.
