 Our team name honors the great MLB pitcher and Goshen son Sam Leever, 1871-1953. A Goshen High School grad, Sam taught school in Goshen for seven years before signing his first professional contract at the advanced age of 25. His former teaching career, thinning hair, and serious disposition earned him the nickname “The Goshen Schoolmaster.” Sam was a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, played in the very first World Series, and went on to have a stellar career in the major leagues. He retired from baseball in 1913, returned to Goshen, managed his 70 acre farm, and indulged in his favorite pastime - trap shooting. 

Our team is made up of local talent - fire fighters, police, educators, business people, media, pastors, and many  others all playing for a good cause. All gameday proceeds benefit the Goshen Township Historical Society.
