Three Ring Baseball League

Ballantine Brewing Co.

1964-65

Apparently this league, sponsored by Ballantine never really got off the ground. It was a promotional event which lasted only 2 years (1964-65?) based on articles from 1964 and a Limelight show from June 26, 1965 where Shep made mention of it. That date was also confirmed in a post with photos. See link below for 'The Rusty Bunch' website.
