Topekans Don Farmer (on the left) and Harland Coffman are pictured in this snapshot from 1945. Both were players for the Topeka Mosby-Macks, the American Legion baseball team which represented Capitol Post 1. The Mosby-Macks won the state Legion title in 1945 by defeating a team from Wichita. It was the third straight state championship for the Capitol Post 1 team; its streak would eventually extend to six consecutive state titles. Digital reproduction of the photograph was accomplished through a joint project sponsored by the Kansas Historical Society and the Shawnee County Baseball Hall of Fame.
