Baseball

Phelps Park In 1944 a new Upper Middler from Watertown, Massachusetts arrived at Andover to study and to play baseball. An outstanding pitcher, Richard Phelps graduated from PA in 1946, went on to Yale and then to a very successful business career, while remaining actively interested and involved in athletics. In 1990 Dick made an extraordinarily generous gift to the Academy including funds for scholarships, for a number of campus projects, and, in particular, for the renovation and improvement of the baseball field, which was dedicated in May of 1993 as Phelps Park.
