In 2009, the University of Vermont was faced with a $1.1 million shortfall in its athletic department. One of the most controversial parts of their plan to erase that deficit was the elimination of the varsity baseball program; a program that had been around for over a century.

UVM Baseball - Bring It Back from Mt Mansfield Media on Vimeo.

A concerned group from the UVM community have met and formed a committee to show their passion and and interest in baseball at the University.Their goals and objectives are:

1. To support the UVM club team as it plays in the New England Club Baseball Association (NECBA)
2. To support the return of high school baseball state championships to Centennial Field for the 2011 games (Completed).
3. To keep baseball in the state of Vermont in the public forefront.
4. To inform alumni, former players, parents and the university community of developments in bringing Division 1 baseball back to UVM.

This committee intends to work with the Athletic Administration to achieve these goals. This group called, "Friends of UVM Baseball" will be meeting on a regular basis and is looking for interested folks to sign on and express ideas and suggestions to the group.

Members of the committee include:
Bruce Bosley, Kyle Bostwick, Jim Carter, Daren Cassani, Barry Chamberland, Jeff Davis, Barry Doolan, Rick Farnham, Jeff Greene, Rick Harrison, Ed Hockenbury, Paul Jarvis, John Luter, Don MacDonald, John Packard, Tom Simon, Mike Talbot and Steve Williams.

Centennial Field was home again this weekend to UVM Baseball Alumni on Sunday. Players from every decade back to the 1950's set foot on the historic park, some for the first time in years. It was a special time for the UVM Club Team members to hear stories (some of them even true) of playing for Coaches Lapointe, Leggett, Stone and Currier. Certainly Centennial has changed in appearance since those earlier days, but the the spirit, passion and memories will be there forever.
