ACCLAIM FOR THE WORLD SERIES CLUB |
|
The Boston Red Sox congratulate the World Series Club of Hartford County on the occasion of its 70th anniversary.
We recognize the Club's fine tradition of providing fans with the opportunity to meet some of baseball's
prominent advocates of the game. We appreciate these efforts and wish the Club many more successful years
of service to the community.
-Dick Bresciani, Vice President, Boston Red Sox
The very fabric of baseball and its year-round interest is engendered and epitomized by organizations
like the World Series Club of Hartford County. It brings together people of similar interest; it leads
to discussion and therefore better understanding of the game. Yet its most important role may be that
it introduces young people to the game and its finer points. Where else can one find 6 and 86 year
olds discussing the same subject with equal interest and passion? I can only congratulate all of you
for your "first" 70 years and I look forward to many, many more of the same.
-Arnold Dean, Sportscaster, WTIC Radio
Fans like those of the World Series Club are the hope of baseball.
-Owen Canfield, Sportswriter, The Hartford Courant
The World Series Club is a place where a lot of people from all the demographic categories gather
regularly to share a love of the game. These aren't talk-show crazies, but mostly adults who loved
baseball when they were kids and while the game has changed, their feeling for the game remains strong.
-Tom Larson, Sportscaster, New England Sports Network (NESN)
The World Series Club keeps the hot stove league burning during the winter months for the true baseball fan.
-Roland Johnson, Regional Scouting Director, New York Mets
