The Kimmett family donated this photograph to Deseronto Archives today, in memory of Don Kimmett. It depicts the manager, coach and team members of the Deseronto Baseball Club, who were Bay of Quinte League champions in 1950.
The team, from left to right and back to front were:
Kenny Brant, catcher; Don Kimmett, coach; Carl Tinney, pitcher; Jimmy Rodgers, centre field; Fred Smith, catcher; William Wood, manager; Gord Jackson, third base; Don Armitage, second base; Kenny Brennan, first base; George Knight, right field; Bill Doreen, pitcher; Doug Sexsmith, short stop; P. Martin, left field
The caption on the photo only has first initials, so if you can help us with the full first names of the team, we’ll be happy to fill those in. [Thanks to all who have helped with names!]

A correction needs to be made.
The gentleman in the back on the far right is Gord Jackson, not George Jackson.
Gord Jackson was George Jackson’s, my Grandfather’s, youngest brother.
Sincerely,
Steve Lindsay

Bill Doreen is my father and he was a south paw pitcher, he is 84 and still lives by himself on the reserve by the bridge.

My dad filled me in on the rest of the players names: Kenny Brant, Jimmy Rogers, Fred Smith, William Wood, Donny Armitage, Kenny Brennan, George Knight, Doug Sexsmith, and although they would call P Martin Pepper thats just a nick name not his real first name.

The pitcher in the back row was my uncle, Carl (Sliv) Tinney, not Charlie. Thanks!
