Chipping Norton baseball team finally recognized a century later

Chipping Norton Baseball Club's achievements from the 1920s have been officially recognized by the British Baseball Federation. A plaque commemorating the team's back-to-back national championships was unveiled on October 31 at the Chipping Norton Museum. The championships were won in 1926 and 1927, led by founder Fred Lewis, who played a crucial role in popularizing baseball in the Cotswolds. The club's success had gone unacknowledged for decades, prompting a campaign for recognition led by local volunteer Bill Williams. The announcement comes as the team celebrates its centennial anniversary since their first title.
