Legends of Auburn

AUBURN - A photo, dated July 23, 1964, hangs among hundreds of others in a corner room of Cayuga Community College's library. The caption reads: “Father of Baseball Gen. Abner Doubleday Lived in Auburn.”

“I'm kind of a sports nut,” said Ormie King, the man behind an estimated 20,000 photographs depicting Auburn's history, titled “Ormie King's Legends.”

The room is full of photographs, newspaper clippings and memorabilia about the city. King, 68, was born, raised, married and has served the community as a city councilman for seven years and legislator for 10.
