Picture
This is a photo taken at the Warren League Ground, later named Fraser Field, on Stevens Avenue. The ball field is still in use but the home plate seen here, is today's right field and the bandstand is long gone.The grandstand had showers and locker rooms and backed up to the railroad tracks; railroad cars are visible in the background. Crowds of 1,000 often attended games and businesses sometimes closed for games.. 

This photo shows Mayor Eugene Cummings presenting honors to Harry Stanford, captain of the Westbrook High School 1925 baseball team which had won the Telegram League Championship. 
Baseball, the great American sport, has always been popular in Westbrook, with churches, schools, businesses and neighborhoods supporting the teams.

    Memories Are Forever
    ​Westbrook has a rich baseball tradition.  For decades boys and men have played representing their city, neighborhood, church and employer.  We hope these pages honor those that have proudly played the game.
