Bob Shelden Field will serve as a primary venue for Brookings Friends of Baseball’s summer season, beginning late May. The annual “Bring on Baseball” banquet was recently held, achieving record attendance and fundraising results to support facility maintenance, equipment purchases, and indoor facility development. This year’s Banquet seniors’ awards included two post‑secondary scholarships and the Bob Shelden Award of Excellence, presented to Nolan Krogman, along with the inaugural Legacy Award to longtime coach Jeremy Deutsch. Brookings Friends of Baseball will field two junior legion teams (Black and Red) due to increased participation, along with senior legion, 16U, 14U, 13U, combined 13/14U, 12U, 11U, two 10U, 9U teams, and a youth in‑house league — all set to utilize Bob Shelden Field extensively.
