PHOTOS: Labor Day Jimmy Fund Game Turns 56

Some old time players (Oil Can Boyd) and some not so old (Jeff Allison) bested the combined Peabody-Lynnfield Police departments, 6-4.

Peabody's finest once again took the diamond at  on . And once again, Lynnfield police joined their Peabody brethren on the field.

The charity baseball game celebrated its 56th consecutive year, pitting police against former professional athletes from around the North Shore, including several former Red Sox players.

The Old Timers lineup featured Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, Chris Howard, Rawly Eastwick, Kenny Ryan and Peabody's own Steve Lomasney and John Tudor, along with Jeff Allison as well this year.
