Bridgeport Club Directors Plan for 1928 Season
Bridgeport baseball officials meet to approve a $25,000 to $30,000 fundraising drive for the 1928 campaign. Reports from the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers Association show strong backing as directors expect to elect Allan B. Rood as second vice president to assist with finances and advisory duties. Money raised will fund Menfield Park reconstruction including a new grandstand and field improvements. A manager is expected to be named later this week, with former Eastern League pilots among candidates.
