July 10, 2014: “For the Love of the Game” – Baseball!

This week on Route 51, Rick Reyer pinch hits for Glen Moberg to discuss the rich history and traditions of Baseball in central Wisconsin. From Playground League to Little League to Dairyland League and other lesser known leagues in between. Rick’s guests will be Dairyland League Umpire, Elmer Allen. Elmer played in the Playground League in the late 40’s and early 50’s and was a member of one of Wausau’s very first Little League teams in 1953. We’ll also be joined by Jamie and Ryan Schaefer, a father and son who’s family baseball history goes way back. Jamie has been on the Board of Directors of Wausau Youth Baseball & Softball for the past 14 years. Ryan plays for the Wausau River Hawks Baseball Club.
