Baseball History

DYK Merriam had a baseball team? Back in the early 1900s, Sullivan Gee Campbell, grandson of Merriam founder, David Gee Campbell, played for 10 years with a major league team. After his time in the bigs was complete, Sullivan played with the Merriam Merchants, making quite a name for himself as a great player.

On one occasion, Sullivan hit a home run to win the game for his team, but the ball was never found. 20 years later, when clearing out trees at the location of the old Hocker Grove Park, the ball fell out of a fork in a tree it had been lodged in all that time.
