Saint Mary’s broke ground May 1 on a new $704,000 baseball clubhouse. The project was made possible through the generosity of a lead gift from Marc Weisenburger ’75, and more than 50 other young alumni have stepped up to bat to join Weisenburger in this dream by sponsoring lockers at $2,000 or more. The 2,500-square-foot facility, which will be referred to as Pudge’s Place in recognition of Weisenburger’s nickname during his playing days, will include:

  • a locker room with 46 locker stalls
  • a players’ lounge with spaces for athletes to study, have team meetings, and enjoy quiet time
  • big screen TVs, a ping pong table and gaming area
  • a coaches’ space
  • bathrooms and a shower facility
  • a laundry facility and storage
