Mathews-Dickey Boy's & Girl's
Football Club & Equipment in Saint Louis, MO
It all started on a summer afternoon in 1960 when Martin L. Mathews and the late Hubert Dickey Ballentine met under a shade tree in St. Louis? Handy Park. The two baseball coaches discussed a shared concern: how to keep young men on the playing fields and off the streets. Their idea of organizing more teams, then forming leagues, took off. Before long the hordes of young people needed a clubhouse. A tiny storefront building, formerly Bob Russell Sporting Goods, at 4738 Natural Bridge Road, became the center of activity, and the Mathews-Dickey Boys? Club came into existence.
