Photos from Thursday night’s mural celebration @foundryfield! These new murals, by David Martin (@artbyhalfpint), a local Pokagon artist, are the result of collaboration between students in the @ndsocialconcerns Art & Social Change course and @pokegnek members. They join earlier murals depicting the Black Foundry Giants baseball team and South Bend’s Mexican American Baseball league.

Great road trip up with the Sliders to Foundry Field! Super exciting, tight-neck, fun game all the way through to the end. Special thanks to our friends at Foundry Field for putting together a first, but hopefully not last, iteration of their very own Sandlot team!⚾️ #sandlotrevolution by @foundryfield

We had an amazing time last night celebrating the newest mural painted by David Martin on the outer wall of @foundryfield. Thank you to everyone who came and to @ndsocialconcerns & @pokegnek for hosting such a joyous and meaningful event!

South Bend friends: I am looking to borrow Studebaker engine parts that would have been forged in the Studebaker Foundry. The parts will be on display at the Civic Theater for an upcoming exhibit about the Foundry Giants. Featuring their recreated baseball uniform.

If you know any collectors that might have a part for loan, have them reach out.

We would love to have a 2-3 parts that are larger than the connecting rod seen here. If the part has a visible “S” Studebaker stamp, as shown in the second image, it’d be preferred, but not necessary. by @foundryfield
