Minooka is now part of the city of Scranton but was It's own township during the days of the Minooka Blues. The Minooka Blues played ball in the early 1900's. I think there were four members who went on to play in the major leagues . Among them were Mike Mcnally, who may have been the first player to steal home base in World Series history, and who was good friends with Babe Ruth. Also on the team was Steve O'Niell, who many argue should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Blues were considered one of the best ameteur teams of their day. I remember, as a kid, talking to Tony Walsh, who I think played second base for the Blues, telling me stories of Babe Ruth coming to town to visit. Tony was one of the last surviving members of the team and was up around 80 years old when he would share his stories with me and my friends. It is something I'll always remember.
