It has been a long time from Galloway to Littleton, and in be tween only two other Clintonians can be recalled who went to the majors. They were Charlie Wil son, who spent some years with the St. Louis Cardinals, and Claude Crocker (also presently living in Clinton) who was with the New York Yankees for a time. Chick Galloway got his base ball honestly. Almost from the time be learned to walk he grew up with a baseball glove and bat in his hands. His father, the late A. B.
