We’re hoping we’ve struck the right note with this set of Wearside and East Durham baseball memories.
Today is National Baseball Day and we are celebrating with a look back at Sunderland Echo archive scenes from 2003, 2008, and 2012.
They take in schools such as Hasting Hill, Southwick, Westlea and Hill View and show children having great fun.
Have a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
There is plenty more nostalgia to enjoy on the Sunderland Echo website, its Facebook page and the Echo’s sister Facebook page which is called Wearside Echoes and is dedicated to all things retro from Wearside and East Durham.
