Former Cavalier Being Inducted Into Hall Of Fame

The Eau Claire Baseball History Committee will induct 2 new members into its Hall of Fame.

The first new member is Cy Berg, a baseball coach who led the Old Abes to four state championships.

Also inducted will be Dave Johnson, a baseball player who had played with the Eau Claire Cavaliers for 18 years, and managed the legion team for 13 years.

Committee members say potential inductees face a tough process before they are chosen.

Committee Member Dick Bezanson said “Of the ballots cast, you had to be named on a majority or over 50 percent of the ballots, which with all the candidates we had, that was quite a thing to stand out that much.”

There were originally seven nominees for this year’s class, those who weren’t voted in this year will automatically be on next year’s ballot.
