Stateville Prison was sight of many ball games in years gone by
Recently, I was going through some correspondences, looking for future articles for the Morris Daily Herald. I picked up a letter from my good friend, John Dzuris, of Coal City Coalers' fame.
Not only is John one of the finest gentleman I have ever been around, he also happens to be one of the best basketball and baseball coaches in this area and in the State of Illinois.
He sent to me an article of a Coal City semipro game that was played at Stateville, against the Inmates, in 1954.
