Description

The Fort Worth Cats, a minor league affiliate of the Brooklyn Dodgers, are preparing for the upcoming 1946 season. One of the top Spring Training prospects is Danny Long, a twenty-year old catcher from Montgomery, Alabama. Long is holding up well in the day-by-day grading and will likely become one of the regular catchers this season. He is shown tossing his mask to field a foul ball. He is dressed in a baseball uniform and catcher's gear.
