Hagan to be inducted in Baseball Hall of Fame

The Pulaski Yankees are honored to announce Calfee Park and Pulaski Yankees owner David Hagan will be inducted into the Salem-Roanoke Baseball Hall of Fame.
Five area baseball players and contributors have been selected for the 2018 induction taking place Thursday, January 25^th at the Salem Civic Center.
Hagan and the Shelor ownership group purchased the ballpark in 2014 from the town of Pulaski. Since the purchase, Hagan has invested more than 9 million dollars in renovations to the Calfee Park facilities, field, team and hotel where the players stay. During Hagan's ownership attendance has risen from 26-thousand to more than 77 thousand and he is credited with bringing the New York Yankees affiliate to the small, rural community of Pulaski.
"It is an honor to be inducted into the Roanoke-Salem Baseball Hall of Fame alongside so many other wonderful contributors to the baseball industry. The success of Calfee Park would not be made possible without the support from our fans and we look forward to many seasons of great baseball in the New River Valley," said Hagan.
Hagan also sponsors Little League tee-ball, baseball and softball organizations. In 2010 he created the "Growing the Future" program which partners with local schools and community initiatives. In 2017 Hagan offered one free ticket to each home Pulaski Yankees game for every student in the Pulaski County Public School System.
The Salem-Roanoke Baseball Hall of Fame was founded in 1991 and honors players and contributors from the counties of Alleghany, Roanoke, Bedford, Botetourt, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Montgomery and the independent cities located within the boundaries of these counties.
