Field of Dreams
Since 1926, Hamel Baseball has formed a proud tradition of bringing America's pastime to our community's youth. Hamel Baseball prides itself on teaching our children the fundamentals of baseball, but more importantly, how to be better people through responsibility, encouragement, and respect.
The program has experienced tremendous growth in recent years in both participants and success on the field. In order to build on this success, Hamel Baseball looks to our foundation - our community and families.
Please take a moment to review our corporate and individual giving campaign options that have been created to ensure that Hamel Baseball is the best it can be now, and for another century.
