Thomas S. Wilson Baseball Collection

Title

Thomas S. Wilson Baseball Collection

Description

This collection contains materials related to Wilson’s role in organizing and managing Garrett Park’s youth baseball club in the mid-1950s. The bulk of the collection includes letters and memoranda, team and player rosters, and administrative documents from Wilson’s time as the Team Manager for the Junior Division CO-OP team. While the collection does feature some photographs and information about Garrett Park teams (the Gnats, the Juniors, and CO-OP), much of it includes administrative communications with the Montgomery County Boy’s Baseball Association. A finding aid is available for this collection.
