Come out to Barton Field as we honor @IowaCubs longtime bat boy Craig McFarling. Also many years of umpiring/referee in the Urbandale community.
His jersey hangs in the MLB HOF.

As a rival/opponent you didn’t like him and the simple reason why, is because he WON!!! Let’s be honest, he made everyone better even if you were playing or coaching against him!! Hoping continued success going forward!!

The impact that Coach Michael Barta has made at Johnston is nearly impossible to put into words. Seven state titles only scratches the surface. It’s the countless lives he’s changed that define his legacy. An elite coach and an even better friend.
