On October 2nd at the Park Ridge Country Club the 1958 and 1959 Maine baseball teams celebrated the 50th year anniversary of their back to back State Championships. After all this time, this feat has not been matched.
Twenty-three team members and nearly invited 40 guests were in attendance. The guest of honor was Al Carstens, the man who guided the teams to both state titles as well as Vic Giovanini, Carstens’ assistant coach in 1958. Gaston Freeman, the team’s assistant coach in 1959 passed away earlier this year. Al Carsten also coached the Maine West School baseball team when it won the state title in 1963. Both the 1958 and 1959 teams chalked up 22-3 records.
