This is a great opportunity to strengthen our program and build a solid foundation for generations to come. It is the home of the Hornets and a place we're proud of” -John Martin, Former Hornet and LA Dodger Draft Pick. Starting in December of 2005, renovations have began to improve the Trusler Sports complex. One of the additions is a new clubhouse overlooking both of the Baseball and Softball teams’ home fields. Named after major project contributors, Chuck and Doris Hanna, the new Hanna Clubhouse includes a viewing deck and concession stands for fans as well as new lockerrooms, facilities and coaches offices. THOMAS FIELD CANNON FIELD The Trusler Sports Complex was completed in 1992 thanks to the generosity of the Trusler Foundation. Established in 1957 by Harold and Irene Trusler, the Trusler Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life in Emporia and surrounding areas. After great success in the agriculture business, as heads of the Trusler-Cook Grain Company, the Truslers wished to share their good fortune with the community of Emporia. The Trusler Sports Complex is one of the many projects made possible by the Trusler Foundation. Glennen Field, where the Hornets play their home baseball games, was named in honor of Emporia State University President, Dr. Robert E. Dr. Glennen was the thirteenth president of Emporia State University and held the position from 1985 to 1997. In addition to Glenned Field, three other fields are part of the Trusler Sports Complex. Turnbull Field, where the Emporia State Softball team plays their home games, is named in honor of J. Michael Turnbull, president and trustee of the Trusler Foundation. Cannon Field is named in honor of Joe Cannon, a lifelong Emporian who provided the lead gift of land that has become Trusler Sports Complex. Thomas Field is named in honor of Tom D. Thomas, treasurer and trustee of the Trusler Foundation. 2 2008 SCHEDULE Day Date Opponent Location Time Fri. Feb. 15 at Colo. School of Mines (1-9) Golden, Colo. 4:00 p.m. Sat. Feb. 16 at Colo.
