Wilbur Wood Tribute

On September 13, 2026, we hosted a talk about Wilbur Wood, who grew up in Belmont and played for Belmont High. Besides pitching for Belmont’s baseball team, he was quarterback for the football team and defenseman for the hockey team. In the Majors, he pitched for the RedSox, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Chicago White Sox.

You can view this event at the Belmont Media Center archive.
