Baseball legend John “Colby Jack” Coombs and his nephew are featured in a new museum exhibit in their hometown, Kennebunk, Maine. As a rookie for the Philadelphia Athletics just after graduating from Colby in 1906, Jack pitched and won a 24-inning game and was featured on sports pages in a photo from his Colby days, earning the nickname. The exhibit of rare photographs, clippings, video, vintage baseball memorabilia, and personal ephemera, runs through December at the Brick Store Museum.
