An incredible piece of baseball history now has a home in Gloversville!
Today, the Parkhurst Field Foundation celebrated the extraordinary donation of the Stanley Harry Silver Collection, featuring more than 1,100 autographed baseballs dating back to the late 1800s, along with an extensive collection of World Series and All-Star Game programs.
The collection was built over a lifetime by Stanley Silver and inspired by the love of baseball he shared with his father, Harry. Through the generosity of Stanley and the Silver family, these treasured pieces of baseball history will be preserved for future generations and ultimately displayed at the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame here in Gloversville.
As part of today’s celebration, Mayor Gary Antonucci presented a proclamation on behalf of the City of Gloversville recognizing Stanley Silver and the Silver family for their extraordinary donation to the Parkhurst Field Foundation and their commitment to preserving baseball history for generations to come.
We are grateful to the Silver family for entrusting this remarkable collection to the Parkhurst Field Foundation and proud to see another chapter in Gloversville’s rich baseball history take shape right here in our community.
