The Bath-Woolwich baseball school, run by volunteers led by Bill Johnson and Don Perry, drew about 500 to 600 children over three years and built a field with donated land. Yet parents largely refused to support outings to see a major league player, leaving Perry to fund the program from his own pocket for around 300 boys next summer.
