Organized amateur baseball, often called "town ball," celebrates its 80th anniversary this summer. Mel Antonen has written a story in the May/June edition of South Dakota Magazine about six men who, for decades, have managed amateur baseball teams in small South Dakota communities. Antonen grew up in Lake Norden, South Dakota. He currently writes about baseball for SI.com and is a commentator on Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles TV broadcasts.
