The City of Hickory invites the public to attend the naming dedication of the Danny Thompson Field Complex on Friday, November 4, at 11:30 a.m. at Stanford Park. The three softball/baseball fields at Stanford Park are being named the Danny Thompson Field Complex in honor of Thompson’s many athletic accomplishments and contributions to the City of Hickory and the sports community through his leadership and 31-year tenure as Hickory’s Recreation and Parks Director.
Danny Thompson produced a record of high achievement on the playing field and for his college and community. A Catawba County native, Thompson was called “the best second baseman in Lenoir-Rhyne College history” by the late Hanley Painter, longtime LR Coach and Athletic Director.
