Press Clippings

October 6, 2004 - Wahconah Park Inc. Press Release: Bouton group bows out

For immediate release:

My partners and I announce regretfully that we have withdrawn our plan to renovate Wahconah Park and bring professional baseball back to Pittsfield, MA. It is clear that we no longer have the necessary support of the City officials who on January 13, 2004 invited us to return with a proposal we had originally made in 2001, a proposal that was substantially improved by our current plan.

We don’t want to stand in the way of other opportunities for the City regarding baseball, and we will ask both independent leagues to consider favorably any other Wahconah-based proposals which may come their way.

Sincerely,
Jim Bouton
President,
Wahconah Park, Inc.
