Babson Baseball Hot Stove 2007

On Friday, March 2, the 3rd Annual Babson Hot Stove convened at the home of Bob and Maureen Kelly for what proved to be a grand evening of food, drink, friendship, and baseball talk. More than people were in attendance, including baseball alumni from several eras, parents of current players, 2007 team seniors, and three coaches. Take a look at the photos from the wonderful evening.
