AWARD Winners
Doug Goudy and Rod Betteridge
Doug is a proud member of the St. Marys Rotary Club and our volunteer Site Supervisor since the early 2000’s. Doug attention to detail and unwaivered dedication to our beautiful 32 acre site shows when you look around.
His knowledge and experience with soils, grass and equipment from his many years of farming have come to great use in making our 4 ballfields as amazing as they are. With about 1000 events on our site each season there is non-stop work needed and Doug is always up to the task.
One of the best things Doug did was bring on board Rod Betteridge, Rod hasn’t been around the Hall of Fame as long as Doug, but since he has been on site his expertise and knowledge of equipment, fertilizer and how to get things accomplished has been invaluable. People ask how we keep the site looking so fantastic and our answer is Doug and Rod. If you can’t find these guys volunteering their time here on site, then you know for sure they are at the golf course.
In recognition of their many contributions to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, we are delighted to present both Doug Goudy and Rod Betteridge with the 2021 Randy Echlin Lifetime Volunteer Award. Thank you and congratulations!
