Governor Mifflin Baseball Association Hosts Successful Inaugural Alumni Event
January 11, 2025
The Governor Mifflin Baseball Association (GMBA) kicked off what promises to be a cherished tradition with its first-ever alumni event on January 11, 2025. Paolo’s Restaurant buzzed with excitement as over 100 baseball alumni and friends gathered to celebrate the rich history and bright future of GM baseball.
A Gathering of Generations
What made the afternoon truly special was the remarkable span of Mustang baseball history represented in the room. Alumni from across six decades came together, with graduates ranging from the class of 1968 to the freshly minted alumni of 2024. Each attendee received a commemorative GMBA koozie and t-shirt as tokens of appreciation for their continued support of the program.
Honoring Champions
The 2024 Baseball team served as guests of honor at the event, receiving well-deserved recognition for their outstanding state championship victory. The celebration was especially meaningful coming just one day after the team’s official ring ceremony held at the high school basketball game, where players received their championship rings
Looking to the Future
The inaugural gathering wasn’t just about reminiscing—it was also about building for the future. GMBA made two exciting announcements that generated significant buzz among attendees:
GMBA Hall of Fame: The association revealed plans to establish a Hall of Fame dedicated to honoring the program’s most accomplished players, with the first induction ceremony scheduled for this spring.
Alumni Game: To the delight of many former players in attendance, GMBA announced an alumni game to be held this summer. In a special incentive that prompted immediate action, the association noted that only GMBA members will be eligible to participate. This announcement proved effective, as 22 attendees signed up for membership on the spot, becoming the founding members of the GMBA.
Camaraderie and Celebration
The afternoon was filled with laughter, storytelling, and reconnection. Former teammates who hadn’t seen each other in years picked up conversations as if no time had passed. The event featured delicious food and drinks, creating the perfect atmosphere for alumni to share memories and forge new connections across graduating classes.
With strong attendance, meaningful recognition of past and present achievements, and exciting plans for the future, the GMBA’s first alumni event has set a high bar for what promises to become a beloved annual tradition in the Governor Mifflin baseball community.
