Hope you all are ready for another installment of WHOOZDIS?

With major league baseball in full swing (no pun intended), I thought this would make for some nostalgic fun during a rain delay… or just as a distraction from any real work.  The photos included here are of what appear to be Pop House softball teams from around 1968-1972.  There are fourteen teams with names like: WAFS, Boilermakers, Neophytes, Pack, Grillmen, Rookies, and the infamous TOTTS.  You might have played for one of the teams or been in the bleachers cheering.  Try to identify the team names and the players.  I recognized a few people, but not very many.

Let’s start out with this picture outside the Pop House of someone driving a big ol’ convertible with a mock coffin sticking out of it.  Who is this guy and what the heck is going on?
