EVESHAM—It was the sort of gala celebration that one would ordinarily expect to witness following a big city’s baseball team’s winning a World Championship, such as the one staged last year by Atlanta, the “Home of the Braves,” rather than conducted in a community of just over 45,000 residents.
But to the officials and residents of Evesham Township— and the rest of Burlington County as well — the glory of being the home base of the Marlton Chiefs, the team that managed to come out on top in this year’s 10U (10 and under) Cal Ripken World Series on Aug. 13, was, in a sense, even more meaningful than that symbolized by the attainment of a Major League championship.
