Make a Donation in Memory of Frank Petruno

Frank’s part-time vocation was sports, particularly amateur league baseball, which drew huge crowds in Cleveland during and after World War II. He was a seminal figure in Cleveland “sandlot-league” baseball in the 1950s and 1960s, as a star player (right field) and then manager for the Wenham Truckers-sponsored team, one of sandlot’s winningest franchises. In the 1960s, a period of severe racial strife nationwide, Frank was a tireless advocate for inner-city athletics in Cleveland, coaching youth football and baseball at city recreation centers. In recent years he devoted much of his time to the development of Cleveland’s Baseball Heritage Museum at the restored League Park on the city’s Eastside. League Park was the original home of American League baseball in Cleveland (today’s Guardians) and also hosted other teams including the Negro League Cleveland Buckeyes.

Thank you.
