Jesuit High School of New Orleans

Root, Root, Root for the Home Team…

From local sports historian Derby Gisclair: “These intrepid lads are the 1918 Jesuit High School baseball team from New Orleans. Somehow, they managed to get in the full season without succumbing to the Spanish Flu epidemic. I located a couple of old box scores which list the last names of some of the players (in no relation to how they are shown in the photo); Kehoe (left field), Hart (centerfield), Montgomery (first base), Jung (catcher), Gately (shortstop), Mack (second base), Bernard (third base), Bolten (right field), Perrin (pitcher).”
