ABE SHER STADIUM
Our Home Ground
Abe Sher Stadium on De Boerin Street has been the heartbeat of Bothasig Baseball Club since its founding. Set against the Bothasig hillside, it's earned the club its tagline — The Club With a View.
Every Pee Wee first swing, every Major League game day, and every Masters reunion has happened on this diamond for 51+ years running.
