19th Hole: The Readers Take Over

'OVER THE FENCE'
Sir:
I just read your special issue, The Year in Sports (Feb. 8), in which you mentioned, in LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER, that SI's soft-ball team, managed by associate writer Steve Wulf, had "an unforgettable season because [the] one road game was against the House Foreign Affairs team on the lush grass of the Ellipse in Washington, D.C."

In June 1949, after playing and umpiring baseball games there many times and losing many balls hit into the White House grounds, I took the enclosed photograph (below), which is entitled Over the Fence. I thought your staffers and readers might enjoy seeing it.
