BOARD MEMBERS & DIRECTORS
Winchester Baseball was incorporated in 1991 and was initially three board members. Since then, Winchester Baseball has grown to have 10 Board Members and multiple Managers who do a fantastic job of keeping the experience around Winchester Baseball fun, positive, and rewarding. All of these volunteers have dedicated so much of their time, and continue to do so, to make our league the best in the area for not just baseball, but in all of youth sports. When you see these people around the ballpark (and you will!), make sure you tell them "Thank You!"
