Hot Stove Luncheon to honor Gold Bat class of 2025
The West Haven Twilight League will hold its Hot Stove Luncheon on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at West River Hall, 37 Orlando Street, West Haven, CT 06516. Doors open at noon, followed by a luncheon buffet sponsored by J.roo’s Restaurant.
The 61st annual Gold Bat awards will be presented at this time. League President Mike Torello, Commissioner Dan Gooley and the WHTL Board of Directors recently named this year’s honorees. The 2025 Gold Bat class includes Chris Flynn, Pat Lynch, Brendan Moss, and Chris Murray.
The league will present the Bob Moran Lifetime Achievement Award to Joe Roche. The Community Service Award will be presented to Bill O’Brien. Susan Gilbert Courage Award will be presented to Steve Dargan. Sal Coppola, retired Amity High School baseball coach and former Gold Bat recipient will receive a Career Recognition award from the league.
Tickets are $60.00 per person and can be obtained online at WHTL.org or by emailing your ticket request to rcdepew@comcast.net. Seating is limited, and we are hoping that many past Gold Bat Award recipients and past players can attend or donate to the WHTL.
