Now in their 55th year, the Clowns have not inappropriately been labelled the "Harlem Globetrotters of Baseball.'* They combine quality baseball and hilarious com?dy to pity.sc crowd^ whey ver Alh^' i ne ciun originauywas "parrot th?"<Jld N?grd Leagues but, as baseball became more organized and integrated, such teams were phased out of existence. In 1968, the club integrated and continued to barnstorm the country, playing at sites ranging from Comiskey Park in Chicago to small towns like Pomonkey, Md. In the process, the Clowns have sent more than 45 players to the major leagues uith their most famous alumnus being home run king Henry Aaron. 1984 is a year of firsts for the Clowns. This is, for instance, the first year of ownership for a trio of men from Corning, N.Y., that includes former Clown player Dave Clark, as well as Mark Anglehart and Sal Tombasco. The three form the first partnership ever to own the team and imiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimmmmmiiiiiimiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmiiimimiiiimiiHiiiiii Twin ntv I pqoup ci x TTI1I JUVU^UV Ul iiiiiiiiitiiiiitiHiimmiiitiiimiiiiiimMiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiimuiiiiiiiiiiMiiMiiiiiaiimiiiiNiiiiim stronger. In the past, we had fewer sponsors, but most were larger companies that pledged full sponsorship. Now we have more sponsors, but they aren't big enough to give us the necessary funding to be self-sufficient." Prior to the 1983 season, Ms. Gail Rynes brought together a small, cohesive group of parents to form the Twin City Little League Booster Club. Already the club has raised more than SI,500 through various fundraising projects and helped ease some of the program's financial burdens. 111 II -~h3^fc are serious in promoting Fne program, say*; iWtciwrrr who coached in the league for 15 years'before becoming player agent.

Another first is the international flavor of the 1984 schedule. After an 11-week U.S. tour.jthe team has games booked in Sweden, Holland and England. Previously, the team had never played abroad. Still another first is the Clowns' working agreement with the New York Yankees. The limited deal gives the Yankees first option on all Clown players while at the same time allowing the Clowns independence in barnstorming, which they have always enjoyed. The Clowns say they intend to provide quality family entertainment wherever they go. With this in mind, the team will conduct a youth baseball clinic two hours before game time. TI .*4 ir ..

Founded in 1963, the Twin City Little League has weathered many storms to maintain its identity. Originally the league was established so that black youth (who were at that time barred from participation in the white, segregated leagues) would have a training ground in youth baseball.
