The Galesville Hot Sox were a "sandlot" league that began playing on the Wilson Field in 1926, and in a time before baseball was integrated, the Hot Sox would occasionally test their skill up against the big time Negro League teams such as the Baltimore Elite Giants. A few Galesville players even went on to tryout for the big leagues. The field was not only a place to play ball, but it was a gathering place in Galesville and a community institution.
To capture this history firsthand, and in particular, the stories of former Hot Sox players, Galesville Community Center has invited former ball players, their families and enthusiast to come for a visit on August 2nd, and to bring photographs, artifacts, or just memories and stories to share! All are welcome, so if you have a story to share, or want to meet the Hot Sox players, come and join us!
