If our NECBA game on Saturday gets weathered out this event will be cancelled. I will call coaches to tell them "no game".
The alumni game this year will take place on Sunday October 4th starting at noon. All alumni please arrive around 10:30 to sign in and warm up... we will have a bbq afterwards for all alumni, club team members, and family and friends.
If you are planning to attend please send Jim Carter an email to let him know. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Sunday a beautiful day a Centennial with the Alumni/Club "game". Quantity was down a bit, but those guys can still hit. Great to have Coach Currier there. We had players from the decades of the '60's, '70's, '80's, 90's and 2000. Thanks Friends members; Peter, John. Don, Daren and Barry for helping out. A barbecue followed the "game" for some social interaction among players and the alumni. Also thanks go out to the Lake Monsters for their support in getting the field ready.
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.

What a great day for UVM baseball at the First Annual Club-Alumni Celebration. Alumni from every decade back to the 1950's showed up to celebrate UVM baseball.
One of the highlights was the appearance of Bernie Ravenna class of 1953 from Woodbury, NJ. Last time he was on Centennial Field was in May of 1953 when he pitched a 5-0 shutout over Dartmouth College
