The lasting memorial
Bluffton University President James M. Harder announced plans for a lasting memorial to the 2007 baseball team prior to the team's final home game versus Defiance College on May 1.  In addition to naming the baseball field, Bluffton University Memorial Field," the memorial plan includes enhancements to the current diamond, including new and enlarged dugouts and additional site development and landscaping.  The field will also include a permanent commemorative memorial. Field enhancements are expected to be in place for the start of the 2008 baseball season. 

Should gifts to the memorial fund exceed the project costs, the university will apply these additional funds toward the future construction of a facility that will benefit all Bluffton students, a new health and fitness education center that is part of the university's current strategic plan.
