Lang could never gel enough baseball; as a youth in Pittsburgh acted as errand boy for visiting American Association clubs, worked his way up to bat boy. In 1911, in search to recover health, Lang moved to California, hit a rainy season and packed. up for Florida, where he soon recovered. In 1914, his baseball enthusiasms unforgotten, he persuaded Branch Rickey, then manager of the St. Louis Browns, to try St. Petersburg for spring training. Lang led drive to build St. Petersburg ball park, now known as Al Lang Field, to which he lured the Yankees in 1927 for spring custom that has lasted 33 seasons. This year 12 major league clubs have pitched camp in Al Lang's Florida.
