Dozens of Great Bend Panther baseball and softball players were on hand Thursday to see the outline of a 5-foot baseball rising above the entrance to the Great Bend Sports Complex. Before the teams faced off against the Hoisington Cardinals, they participated in the unveiling of a metal sculpture created by Bruce Bitter of B&B Metal Arts in Hoisington.The top off the ball was all that could be seen at first, because the rest of the 25-foot-long sculpture was covered. Bitter described the project, encouraging people to walk around the sculpture and view it front and back.
