Dedication of New Batting Cage in Honor of Coach Sabatini

On Sunday, September 18th at 2:00 pm, a new batting cage at the Califon Island Park will be dedicated in the memory of long time resident, Gerry Sabatini.

Califon Resident Mark Gibson has organized a fundraiser within the community to purchase a batting cage for the baseball field in memory of Coach Sabatini.  If anyone had a son or daughter that played baseball in elementary, middle or high school in the 1990’s and early 2000’s,  they knew Coach Sabatini. Gerry spent countless hours volunteering to assist in coaching local  teams and players.

Having played professionally himself in the early days, Coach Sabatini loved the game of baseball and loved sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge with our local youth even more.

Along with the dedication of the batting cage, there will be an Old Timers Game of former players and friends of Coach Sabatini.
