>>REALLY, he spent 9 years in junior high?

That does not mean he failed. We can’t find a history for a Molino Junior High School as mentioned in the county proclamation. We suspect it was actually Molino School (the current library and community center) on Highway 95A, which included both elementary and junior high grades.

This sign was changed several years back. The sing was changed and updated marking Molino Ball Park with information such has the web address. This update was due to the condition of the original sign that was in place at the time. Along with the need for sharing a way for players / community to get information regarding park activates via the web site. However there was a sign inside the park entrance still in recognition of Don Sutton. This sign was damaged by storms and disposed of. (MRA) Molino Recreation Association is a not for profit and its board of director runs and organizes youth sports (t-ball, baseball, softball) We love our community and proud of who is and comes from our area. We have many many great players that have started right here in Molino. We will have many more to come. We tip our hat to the great Don Sutton who was known for his durability and I can say these athletes from our area fit that characteristic.

Lets go Molino!

Why did they rename Don Sutton Ballpark to Molino Ball park? They have a new sign up on the corner of Crabtree and Hwy 97?. It got changed right after his death? It was a shame.

What a great character and sportsman Don was! Some of the pranks he pulled were classic and winning 300 games is a testament to his talent and durability.

Because of Don Sutton, I was and still am a LA Dodger fan. Hated more than anything, he wasn’t on the team to get the WS ring in 81.
