Walt Dropo's UConn Yearbook

[Huskybass]

I recently acquired a copy of the 1947 UConn Nutmeg yearbook. Walt Dropo didn't just play 3 sports, he was a star on the baseball, football and basketball teams. He must have been a heck of an athlete to not only play but be a star in all three sports. Well before my time as I am an "88" grad, but very cool nonetheless.

Very cool. Can you scan and post the relevant page?

I would be happy to post some of the content if someone describes how to post photos.

Still not as good an athlete as Andre Drummond.

The UConn Archives has the 1947 yearbook uploaded to their site: http://archives.lib.uconn.edu/islandora/object/20002:859968101#page/1/mode/1up

@Huskybass, if you share the page numbers, people will be able to find the photos with that link - probably easier than trying to upload them here.

Thanks TCF. I will give it a try though. Pages are 71 through 78 for all three sports.

Too bad he played for the Dead Sox. I believe he holds the Major League record for consecutive hits, twelve.
