Clarinda A's Baseball

Alumni, fans, and friends of the A’s program it is a sad day in Clarinda and for the Clarinda A’s family.  After a long and courageous battle with cancer our beloved General Manager Merl Eberly passed away at his home in Clarinda this morning.  Merl had an impact on so many lives as he assumed many roles with the Clarinda A’s throughout the years.  Whether you knew Merl as the General Manager, coach, teammate, friend or family member you knew Merl’s passion for the game of baseball and for life. Merl will be greatly missed by all of those that had the pleasure of knowing him and his presence will be missed at Clarinda Municipal Stadium/Eberly Field “Where family traditions begin.”
