Branding & community connecting — 1 of only 5 negro league baseball stadiums still standing

I have a deep connection to Hamtramck and baseball. My dad immigrated to Hamtramck/Detroit with his family, from Poland, he was 12 and immediately fell in love with baseball,After attending Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School in Florida my dad worked as a Minor League Umpire. He also had his turn at playing and managing semi-pro baseball in Detroit. I’m proud of my dad, my family connection to Hamtramck and the opportunity to work together with The Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium on this historic and important project.
