Kit Carson Park Scoreboard Dedication
On August 10, Mayor McNamara presented the Berryman family with a Certificate of Recognition, and proclaimed August 10 as William and Jessie Berryman Day, recognizing them for their generous donation of two digital scoreboards. These scoreboards are located on the Escondido Youth Baseball fields in Kit Carson Park. Mrs. Berryman reached out to the Community Services Department with the idea of donating a scoreboard in honor of her husband, William, who is currently in hospice care. The family wanted to memorialize their husband and father with something that would benefit the baseball community here in Escondido. Mr. Berryman was an avid baseball player, and even played professionally in the 1950's. He remained involved with the sport throughout the years, and currently has grandchildren that play in the league. The donation of these scoreboards will benefit all of the children that play, and will play, on our fields for years to come. We are so grateful to be the recipients of this incredible gift.
