Seward baseball alumni set to return to diamond

The second annual Inagural Sants Baseball Alumni Weekend is set for Friday, Oct. 21 through Sunday, Oct. 23.

Last year’s alumni weekend was put together relaltively hastily, but was considered a major success by those involved.

Alumni players who showed up to the event last year included a variety of players spanning several decades; four from the 1970s, nine from the 1980s, six from the 1990s, and 13 from the 2000s were seen during the weekend’s festivities.

Last year’s event included dinner at Billy’s Blue Duck BBQ, a tour of the Saints athletic facilities, home run derby, cookout, game against the current Saints team, auction, and golf tournament.  Many of those same activites are planned for the Oct. 2011 weekend.
