Hall of Fame
Douglas D. Crosier was a four-year varsity baseball player at D&E from 1974-78, competing as a pitcher and outfielder. During his sophomore season, Crosier was named team MVP and received special honorable mention as a WVIAC pitcher. He played for coach Dave Barb, who helped Crosier develop as a pitcher throughout his collegiate career.
Crosier carried the lessons he learned at D&E into a lengthy career in baseball and business. He spent 17 years as a varsity baseball assistant coach at Burr and Burton Academy in Manchester, Vermont, continuing his involvement in the game after his playing career.
Today, Crosier is the owner of Battenkill Post and Beam, a custom residential and light commercial timber framing company. Among his most memorable experiences at D&E were learning the finer points of pitching from Barb and gradually learning, over four years, the value of perseverance and how to win from his teammates.
