Heart of Maryland Baseball League Opens May 7 1950
The Heart of Maryland League sets its 1950 opening date for May 7 due to a club shortage. Harmony joins by forfeiting Florence, Broad Run moves to Tri County, and Frederick’s Hustler Juniors may fill the eighth slot. George Stup notes Frederick youths show little interest due to travel distances, while seven clubs prepare for the opener with new or improved facilities including Myersville’s grand stand and Mt. Airy’s new diamond.
