The 1948 St. Joe Rotary Club Baseball Team

In May 1948, the Port St. Joe Rotary Club baseball team was playing the Kiwanis Club team.
J. Lamar "Pete" Miller pitched for the Rotary Club and George Tapper was on first base.
Frank Hannon stepped up to bat for the Kiwanis Club team. Hannon was an excellent baseball player, with a batting average of .300.
With Hannon up to bat, Tapper walked up to Miller and told him that Tapper couldn't hit a curveball.
Miller then threw the ball and Hannon hit a homerun.
Then Tapper started walking back towards the mound and Miller said, 'Don't come over here and tell me anything else."
Tapper said, "It didn't curve."
