Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life

Linda's Corner - The Mormon Yankees with Del Bjork

June 28, 2021 Linda Bjork/Delmar Bjork Season 2 Episode 46

The Mormon Yankees were an exhibition basketball team in Australia that played from 1937-1961 composed of young missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  My father-in-law Delmar Bjork, who is now 86 years old, served his mission in Australia from 1955-1957 and got to be a part of this team when the Mormon Yankees squad played exhibition games against international teams preparing for the 1956 Summer Olympics, which were held in Australia that year.
