Rogue's fan Greg sent me this great scan of a newspaper clipping from July 20, 1978. The Rogues played a local restaurant in a charity softball game. Greg had his picture taken getting an autograph from Alan Birchenall. He recently found the clip at his aunt's house. I was at this game too and it was a lot of fun. The Rogues players were joking with the fans and tried to play softball like cricket. Birchenall was a huge fan favorite. He was the joker of the team. What is "The Birch" hiding behind that magazine? His cigarette! Thanks Greg, I really appreciate you sharing this Rogues' memory!
