Baseball--100 years at Martinsburg High School

Baseball--100 years at Martinsburg High School

This year marked the 100^th anniversary of baseball at the Martinsburg High School.   An exhibit of items related to the commemoration of that accomplishment will be on display in one of the front foyer cases at the Martinsburg Public Library during the month of August. 

Martinsburg High School formed their first baseball team in 1915 so to document the 100 years, there is a special commemorative edition booklet that was created and includes all available Bulldog baseball team photos throughout the years as well as the Alumni game participants.  Pre-sales are being taken by Larry and Anita Cooper at a cost of $5.00 and checks are to be made payable to MHS Baseball Boosters.   A pre-order list (but no payments) is also being taken at the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Public Library through the end of September 2015. Those persons will be contacted by the Coopers to obtain their copy of the book.   Mini-helmets and commemorative baseballs like those in the display case are also available from the anniversary committee.

 

Please stop to look at this interesting exhibit which celebrates one of America’s favorite sports and baseball at Martinsburg High School in particular!!
