1960/ Waseca Drops Class 'A' Baseball

    Waseca definitely will not field a team in Class A baseball during the summer of 1960. This was a unanimous decision among board of directors of the Waseca baseball Association Saturday night in a meeting held at the VFW club rooms.
    Only 11 persons turned out for the meeting, six of them local baseball directors of the past season. The meeting, which lasted over two hours, contain mostly discussions of what Waseca would do for baseball during this summer as well as coming years.
    It didn't take long for all 11 persons to come to a decision to drop Class A ball. Main reasons for this were lack of financial support as well as moral support during the three years Waseca has had a team in Class A ball.
