YATES CENTER One of the most successful American Legion baseball programs in state history will be honored July 7 with a reunion and old-timers game.
The Yates Center American Legion Post 13 squad earned the first of three consecutive state titles in 1968.
The get-together is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first state championship, with members of the 1969 and 1970 title teams expected to join in the fun as well.
The activities begin at 6:30 p.m. at Kluender Field, with a presentation of the colors by the Yates Center American Legion.
The old-timers game begins at 7 oclock, followed by a watermelon feed at 8.
Kathe Hamman, one of the organizers, is eager to reach out to any and all former players.
She can be reached at (620) 433-1133.
