Allison Cats back after 18-year absence

A long tradition of Sunday games at the ballpark has been brought back to Allison.

Started in 1947, a baseball squad Allison Cats played every Sunday afternoon for 49 consecutive years. After disconnecting in 1996, the Cats have been resurrected in 2014.

Allison native Casey Klunder came up with the idea of bringing back the Cats, as the Waverly-Shell Rock baseball coach helped get several Wartburg players on the team.
