HISTORY
The Waterford American Legion Post 161 Baseball Team was started in 1992 by Bill Jerome and Hat Fengar as a way to have more Waterford players participate in American Legion Baseball. Previously there were some Waterford players on the Niantic Team and some on the New London team.
Now there could be 18 players from Waterford playing on the home town team. Other coaches were Bob Cramer and Henry Gunther. The scorer was Harold Hansen. From the beginning, the team has had a partner in the Town of Waterford. The team is a co-sponsered activity of the Waterford Recreation and Parks Department.
Hat Fengar and Harold Hansen are still with the team going into season number 18 in 2009
