THE GREATER LANSING AREA SPORTS HALL
OF FAME
INDUCTION CEREMONY
1947 to 1949 Vermontville Baseball
July 25, 2019
By Chuck Krafft
From 1947 to
1949, the Vermontville baseball team had a 36-1 record.
There were
nine players (or representatives) at the ceremony to accept the award. Terry Lowery, Jim Zemke and Homer Winnegar
came to the microphone to highlight each year.
In 1947, the team had a 10-0 record.
In 1948, they were 11-0. IN 1949,
the team had a 10-1 record.
The players
had an amazing level of detail (especially when you consider that 1949 was
seventy years ago) about the events of the seasons.
Ken Beardslee,
who was inducted to the hall in 2007 was the pitcher. In one nine inning game, he struck out 26
batters. He also played professional
baseball for nine years.
