The baseball program will begin a new tradition this season with a “first pitch” to be thrown at the beginning of each game by an alumni or other key Watterson Baseball supporters. Coach Manahan along with some local baseball alums would also like to start “a day at the yard” this summer where we can bring our baseball alums back to the field and re-live some glory days.
Finally, we will also like to bring back our 1988 and 1991 State Champions to a basketball game this season (TBA). Your e-mail addresses are needed!
