My father, Al (Alois) FALTER and his brother Vic (Victor) learned to play baseball from Father Vincent MUINCH, the pastor of St. Stephen Catholic Church at St. Stephen, Seneca County, Ohio, who was my namesake. I am am one of two Vincent Falters named for the beloved Father Muinch.Thir were several other boys named Vincent in his honor.
Dad and Vic both developed into pretty good ballplayers and when Dad was 21, both he and Vic were playing semi-professional ball (AAA) in the Tri-State League. They had hopes of being drafted by one of the major league teams, but it appears that they were not THAT good. Too bad. But, as a consolation, they looked great in their uniforms and they loved the game for the rest of their lives!
