World Series Park in Saugus will have lights installed this season, which will complete the park by being able to offer night games and never having to stop games because of darkness. As a result of increased costs of the light poles and fixtures, more funds will have to be raised in order to completely fund the project.
“We have most of the money, but at this point, because of unseen costs, have come up short in our fundraising” said World Series Park superintendent Bob Davis. “We will still complete the installation and hope to receive additional donations and pledges. We plan to have some night games this season. Someone pointed out that there’s never been a Saugus High School baseball night game in Saugus. As a result of an article in the recent Saugus High Alumni Newsletter, several donations were received from former Saugus baseball players. We encourage anyone who’s played at World Series Park or watched a game there to donate to our lighting fund.”
To donate to the World Series Park 2020 Lighting Fund, checks should be made payable to World Series Park and sent to World Series Park, 8 Holden Ave., Saugus, MA 01906.
Please indicate that the donation is for the Lighting Fund. Those who donate $100 or more will have their name included on a permanent plaque on the third base dugout. Donations can be made in memory or in honor of others. To donate online, go to worldseriespark.net and click on GoFundMe.
