This book was written for an historical account of a baseball league in Saginaw, MI that not many people remember. The league was based out of the old Veterans Memorial Stadium, which was located at 20th street and Holland. The league was very popular in Saginaw. It was made up of teams sponsored by local businesses. The players were college players and people loved baseball. Some of the players went on to play baseball in the minor leagues and a few went on to play in the major leagues. Bob Buhl, Jerry Lynch, Ed Albosta, Danny Schell, Al Luplow, Jim Northrup and Vern Ruhle all played in the Major Leagues. One person, Terry Collins, went on to manage the N.Y. Mets from 2011 to 2017. The Saginaw News did a wonderful job of covering the league for the fans of Saginaw baseball. They never had official counts but on some nights it was reported that 3,000 to 3,500 watched the games. It was a wonderful place to watch baseball on a warm summer night. Many people have fond memories of Veterans Memorial Stadium.
