Don Coss
Don Coss was known for being passionate about two things: 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 served on the school board.
Don 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. The Don Coss Memorial Scholarship Fund, a part of the Guernsey County Foundation Family of Funds, was established with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio to provide post-secondary support for players on the Post 84 Cambridge American Legion baseball team that Don established all those years ago.

- Currently player of the Post 84 Cambridge American Legion baseball team;
