Steeped in tradition, Cavaliers continue hometown legacy of community involvement

The first pitch of the Eau Claire Cavaliers’ 53rd season is set for Sunday and those who have been associated with the squad — many since its inception — feel that with continued community support, the baseball team will continue for many decades to come.

“Eau Claire has always been a strong baseball town and has always had a strong youth program,” Dick Gannon, who was one of five who founded the Cavaliers 53 years ago, said. “There was really no program around in Eau Claire at the time for these kids to play baseball.”

And so began the proud tradition of the Eau Claire Cavaliers.
