GUEST COLUMN, Chuck Bowman, Bee Jays Board President

 

The Board of Directors of the Liberal Bee Jays would like to invite you to the 2026 collegiate baseball season. We are looking forward to an exciting year.

This season will celebrate many of the baseball traditions envisioned by American League founder Ban Johnson, for whom the Bee Jays are named, and will continue the legacy of 71 summers of Bee Jay baseball in Liberal, Kansas.

We are excited to welcome back one of our former players from the 2020 season, Caden Trenkle. Coach Trenkle has enlisted two assistant coaches, Jonny Baileys as hitting coach and Gino Cozzi as batting coach. Their experience and enthusiasm will help build a winning team and create a positive experience in Liberal for players and fans this season.
