Also, on that night, 1958 Geneva Red Leg Harry Panero and his family visited McDonough Park. Panero played 2 seasons with Geneva and was an outfielder. The 1958 team was the first team to play on the current field. He presented Ohmann with a plaque pf the 1958 team picture for McDonough Park. In 1958, as a member of the New York-Penn League the Geneva Red legs was named after the new affiliate the Cincinnati Red legs. That affiliation lasted until 1963.
