With the passing of Hermie Kampsen, some old Elrosa baseball relics have surfaced. One of the Saints first uniforms, a hand-me-down from Melrose. Removed the M, and reconfigured the E to an A. A fine zippered wool jersey, off-centered embroidered Elrosa
On behalf of the Saints, we would like to wish the family, friends, and teammates of Brennen Hoppe our sincerest condolences during this difficult time. He was one of us and a kid that we loved to compete against as if he had been in the league for years. Too young. RIP
The Saints dugout grew by 1 this week! Congrats to
