At the invitation of the Sangamon County Board, numerous members of our club and from the District (images above and below) attended the May 12 opening for two special baseball exhibitions in the Springfield Art Association's Art Gallery in the Sangamon County Building in Springfield. The Sangamon County Historical Society created an exhibition highlighting "100 years of Women's Baseball and Softball in Sangamon County." The Springfield Art Association exhibition featured "Rod Buffington's Baseball Artwork and Baseball Memorabilia." The two exhibits were installed in the gallery to highlight that Springfield and Robin Roberts Stadium will be the site for the games of a new women's baseball league beginning in August. Betsy Dollar, Executive Director of the Springfield Art Association, and Rod Buffington both spoke about Rod's baseball artwork during the reception.
