COMMENTARY: Shows 2 PIX, each wearing a SEATTLE uniform. Native born Snohomish, the late Earl Averill, honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, NY. Earl Averill began in Seattle professionally; spent 13 yrs. with major leagues, including Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers. Snohomish High School grad., the late Earl Torgeson spent 15 yrs in the major leagues, including Boston Braves, Chicago White Sox, and he was a member of 1951 World Series New York Yankees. I'd like to add another Earl of Snohomish, Earl Averill ("Jr.") who played ball professionally for several teams around the U.S. Earl currently lives in Auburn, WA. He keeps the genealogy of the Averill Line of Snohomish, et al and the branches of the Averill Family. * * * It is well to note here that Earl Averill Sr. the Hall of Famer's father Entor Averill, and Earl's infant brother, Jothem, or Joe Averill were buried in the SNOHOMISH PIONEER CEMETERY, located at 2nd St & Cypress (bridge cut leaving Snohomish to access Hwy 2 east toward Monroe). Traditionally, Averill Field is and has been located at 2nd & Pine Ave (NW corner), but the City, nor any of its organizations has posted a plaque there in his honor. There is not even a sign which designates the location as Averill Field. The City, and Others have visions of Other uses in the near Future of Averill Field. Earl Averill did a great deal to put "Snohomish on the Map" in the United States - the quaint Indian name became synonymous with this baseball Hall of Famer, a part of Snohomish's History that need not be obscured by true historians of this place. * * * KLA HA YA ! A Snohomish Indian greeting. (pronounced klah-how-ya, I understand.)
