Plaque Honoring Leo Mazzone Donated to Town of Westernport

The Town of Westernport received a special piece of baseball history last month when Sandra Corsaro presented a handcrafted Atlanta Braves plaque on behalf of longtime Major League Baseball pitching coach Leo Mazzone. Commissioner Allen Shapiro accepted the donation on behalf of the town.

The wooden plaque commemorates the Braves’ 1995 World Series Championship, a season during which Mazzone served as the team’s renowned pitching coach. Widely regarded as one of the greatest pitching coaches in MLB history, Mazzone is known for developing elite pitching staffs and helping lead the Braves through their dominant run throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Town officials expressed gratitude for the donation, noting that the piece is not only a sports keepsake but also a meaningful connection to a celebrated figure from the Town of Westernport.
