During last night’s Loco Beach Coconuts vs. Firefighters Banana Ball game at PNC Field, another member of Station 57 was recognized in a special way.
“CPT Abbott” presented his favorite Firefighters players Ben Dum III and Bradford Webb, with Station 57 Challenge Coins. Abbott is currently leading the fundraising campaign for the new Ladder 57 and has already helped raise nearly $2,000 toward the effort.
After learning about Abbott’s dedication and fundraising work, he was invited to meet the team. Following the 5th inning ceremony honoring the late Captain Robert Walsh of Station 57, Abbott, along with the Walsh family joined the Firefighters in the dugout for a memorable experience.
Following the game, the Firefighters team autographed a section of fire hose that Abbott had brought to the game specifically for the occasion.
The Officers and Members of Station 57 would also like to thank the Firefighters team, the Loco Beach Coconuts, and the Savannah Bananas League for the kindness and hospitality shown to the Walsh family during the tribute honoring Captain Robert Walsh, as well as the support shown to CPT Abbott and our department.
