About Don Coss

Don Coss spent his life looking out for his players and the community, so it was no surprise when Don left a legacy honoring both his love of baseball and his community.

Known as “Mr. Baseball” in Cambridge, Don helped start the American Legion Baseball program in Cambridge in the late 1950s, coached Little League baseball and worked as a scout for the Cincinnati Reds. In addition to his devotion to baseball, Don was deeply committed to his community as well. He donated substantially to have a concession stand built at the baseball field. He served on city council, as city treasurer and on the school board.
