The Door County League baseball season is wrapping up over the course of the 10 days, but your support is still needed to have fun at the old ballgame for years to come. Earlier this summer, the Door County League started its Field the Fields with AEDs effort to outfit its eight parks with life-saving defibrillators. Donors have donated online and in fire boots this season to the tune of over $1,300. Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht explained during this year’s Institute/Sister Bay game the importance of having these life-saving devices at Door County League ballparks after a scary scene at a Maplewood Mets game this season and in the wake of Buffalo Bills defensive DeMar Hamlin suffering cardiac arrest in front of a national audience in 2022.
The Gibraltar/Washington Island baseball team donated $1,500 to the Washington Island Islanders squad for the purchase of an AED in memory of the late Bradley Jordan. You can click this link to donate or bring your donation to Sunday’s games in Sister Bay and Kolberg. The Sister Bay/Egg Harbor contest will be broadcast on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 1:15 p.m.
