Let There Be Light! 

On the occasion of the recent First Annual Alumni Baseball Game,
it was announced that World Series Park was kicking off a five-year
fundraising project to purchase lights for the ballpark.

wsplights-donationdd.jpg
 
Davis went on to explain that lights would provide the ability to have night games,
never having to call a game because of darkness, daytime rain-outs could be
rescheduled at night, the ability to play more games and there would be more
flexibility regarding the use of the field.  Parents who work during the day
could see there son or daughter play at night.  He said “Wouldn’t it be great
to come to a night game here on a summer night.  “We’re looking into
all kinds of financial sources to raise what certainly seems to be a staggering
amount of money.  But, I think we can do it with the perseverance we’ve
demonstrated with everything else we’ve done in building this first-class facility.”
 
The fundraising goal is a quarter of a million dollars, which at last estimate would
be the cost for a lighting system.  Donations are presently being accepted. 

Representing the Furtado Family, Dunkin Donuts franchisees, Christopher Furtado
presented World Series Park with a check for $2,000.  This is the first donation
to the fund.  Bob Davis of World Series Park explained to the crowd gathered that
the Furtado Family has been very kind to the park over the years. 
Davis said “The Furtado Family has always been there for us, first donating
for the field to be built and then donating to build the dugouts and building. 
The Furtados truly care about Saugus and helping its future, our youth. 
They are a valuable asset to our community.”

Donations of $100 or more will entitle the donor’s name to be included on a
permanent plaque.  Donations can be made in memory of an individual. 
A running total will periodically be posted. 
Please send donations to:  World Series Park, 8 Holden Ave., Saugus, MA 01906 
Checks should be made payable to World Series Park
 
A great way to donate is through the General Electric Matching Gifts Foundation. 
Any GE employee, retiree or spouse of a deceased retiree can qualify for
GE to match the amount of the donation. 

For information about this or any questions about the lighting fundraiser,
please contact Bob Davis at (781) 233 - 4555

World Series Park Says it with Flowers
 
New addition to World Series Park this season -  a flower bed in the shape of a baseball.
 
wsp-flower-bed-002.jpg

This 16’ diameter bed of white and red begonias was constructed on the
grounds of the baseball field and planted at the beginning of the summer. 
The begonias and the “magic soil” that make up the flower bed
were donated by Huberman’s Greenhouses in Saugus.

wsp-flower-bed-001.jpg 

The planter was built to improve the area surrounding the baseball field.
The idea of incorporating flowers into the design was presented to
Allan and Dana Huberman, long-time owners of Huberman’s Greenhouses. 
They thought it was a great idea and wanted to get involved by donating
the needed flowers, their special soil and the necessary fertilizer. 
The beautiful flower bed now compliments the adjacent baseball field.
 

Bob Davis of World Series Park said “The Huberman’s willingness and generosity
to step up and donate to the park with their great products is much appreciated. 
It’s one more example of how Saugus businesses have responded to helping
us in our pursuit of creating a facility for the Saugus community to enjoy. 
We wish the Hubermans the best in their rebuilding
following the devastating fire they recently experienced.”

Today, World Series Park is pretty much a "world class park" thanks to the efforts
and
dedication of Bob Davis and the World Series
Park Committee.
Ride by
the park any day
and you will either see a game being played,
or Bob Davis
out there mowing the grass,
raking the base paths, or setting the sprinklers to keep
the field neat, clean, and safe for the players and spectators.
A great big THANK YOU to Bob for everything he has done, and continues to do,
at World Series Park.



The Public is welcome to use WSP Tot Park any day.

Memorial Tree Dedication was held June 9, 2007 at World Series Park

A tree dedication ceremony was held Saturday June 9 at World Series Park. 
Present at the ceremony were the donors, recipients and their families.
8 trees were planted at World Series Park last fall as part of a program to
beautify the park.  These trees were grown at the Saugus Tree Farm and were
donated to the park by the Saugus Tree Committee.  People were than asked
to donate to the park to have a tree dedicated to a loved one.

World Series Park Memorial Building Dedicated on May 9, 2009
 
 

The dedication ceremony for the World Series Park Memorial Building
was held
Saturday, May 9th.  It was attended by between two and three hundred people who
had donated in some way to make the building construction possible. 

wspbuildingdone.jpg

The ceremony consisted of an unveiling of the permanent building plaque,
a reading of names of the donors, music, blessings and prayers, words of
thanks and presentations. Taking part was Father George Morin of
Saint
Margaret’s and Blessed Sacrament Churches, Rev. Martha Leahy of the
First Congregational Church, Luanne Fritz, Glen Davis, Annmarie Rosa,
Patrick Petrone, Selectman Peter Rossetti and Bob Davis.  Tom and Amanda Rosa
performed the music.
 Each of the donors was presented with a carnation and a
replica of the plaque.  All present were invited to tour the new building and
refreshments were served.
 
The Memorial Building was funded entirely with donations and money from
various fundraising endeavors over the past several years.  Sixty percent
of the labor was donated.  Construction was started in June 2008 and
continued over the winter months. 
 
The building is two-stories and is located behind the back-stop. It houses a
concession stand, handicapped restrooms, an equipment storage area and
a scoring/announce area.  This helps to complete the park, providing some
necessary services to all who play and attend games.
 World Series Park
has become a showplace for Saugus and hosts lots of baseball.  Last season
150 games were played at the park.  


wspgecheckpresent.jpg

  Rich Gorham from General Electric recently visited World Series Park to present
a check that represents GE’s contribution to the World Series Park Building Fund
for their part of the GE Matching Gifts Program.  This program allows current
GE employees, GE retirees and spouses of deceased retirees to donate to
non-profit 501(c)(3) charities with GE matching the donation.  World Series Park
qualifies as one such non-profit organization.
  GE employees and retirees have
so far donated $5,950.  GE has matched that amount for a total donation of $11,900. 
Bob Davis, superintendent of WSP, said “We very much appreciate both the
generous individual donations and the GE matching donation.  GE is truly supportive
of community projects such as ours.”

More funds are needed and there’s still the opportunity to be involved in this
project.  Bob Davis of WSP said “The GE Matching Gifts Program is a plus for us
since it’s essentially a double-donation.  We encourage GE people to
help us out. 

World Series Park is Grateful for Donations by Local Craftsmen

wspplumber.jpg

Without the donations by local craftsmen the new World Series Park Memorial Building
would not be possible” said Bob Davis, superintendent of World Series Park. 
The foundation hole was dug by Agganis Construction, the concrete footing and foundation
were built by Wall’s Foundations and the block walls were built by Lenny Fauci. The
electrical system is being done by Al Robichaud, the security system by Scott Davis,
planning, cabinetry and main entrance by Kent Nichols and the plumbing by Jim Kennedy.
These people along with architect Steve Rich, engineer Al Walkey and many volunteers
have generously given their time, efforts and expertise to complete this project.

wspbldg500feb09.jpg
wspnewbldg2.jpg

wspnewblg.jpg




Some of the construction crew members are:
 
Leonard Tripp, Al Walkey, and Russell Tripp. 


A dedication ceremony will be held when the construction of the building is completed. 

 

Because of the success of the projects to build our Tot Park and to plant trees, the
construction of this building will be funded by public donations. 
World Series Park is
a publicly supported facility, so it seems appropriate to
build a memorial building to
honor individuals, businesses and organizations that
are willing to offer their support
to provide a place to play baseball in Saugus.
For a minimum donation of $100.00,
donors will have the opportunity to have
their name, the name of a loved one, or the
name of their business memorialized
on a permanent plaque on the building.

More donations are needed.  Workmanship to construct the building has been
generously pledged.  World Series Park expresses its appreciation to all who have
donated or pledged to help with this project.
