Thanks Brian ! Birmingham was in white, this was a day game at San Fernando High in 1969. I sold enough candy bars to get into the front row of the Doors/Airplane/Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Merrygoround concert ! Huge event. Video courtesey of Gary Shrum. Joe DeWitt (#41) (Van Herpe was #42 I believe.)

Joe, thanks for posting. I believe Gary Benz was 42 and Steve was 43 and just played receiver... I was 30 and a lonely kicker. Great fun to watch again

Just heard about this from my brother Bruce. Very nice!!! Thanks for posting this. Still can't get used to the Patriots being school mascot. Braves was much better!!

Birmingham wore the dark jerseys. We had the third brightest stadium lighting in Los Angeles County , thanks to the candy bar drive raising 100,000 for our new stadium !!!!! The Doors and the airplane played a summer concert there in the summer of 1968 !!!!!! I think Steven Van Herpe played great defense on this team !!!!!! Aeolians....summer '69. Go Braves!!!!!!!
