Crane Stadium/Tompkins Field

Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments.

In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field. A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane. In the summer of 2013, the stadium received another upgrade with a new grass playing surface being installed. On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins. Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine. The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6. On the May 2 dedication day, the Mules swept a doubleheader from Truman State University, 14-2 and 10-4, in the first round of the MIAA Playoffs. The 1998 MIAA Postseason Tournament and the NCAA Central Regional Tournament were also played here, with the Mules winning both events. Tompkins, who died in July, 1996, at the age of 55, was the Mules’ baseball coach from 1965 through 1980. He designed the facility prior to its original construction in 1975. As coach, he compiled a 248-164-1 record (.602 winning percentage). His teams won MIAA championships in 1966, 1971 and 1974, went to the NCAA tournament in 1971 and 1974, and placed fourth at the 1974 NCAA Championship. He was voted MIAA Coach of the Year in 1974. Prior to becoming the Mules’ head coach, Tompkins had been a three-year letterman for the Mules as a pitcher. His 1974 team was inducted into the Central Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994 and he was inducted posthumously in 2002. Crane, who played for the Mules from 1973 through 1976, provided the lead gift for the additions to the facility. A 1997 Central Missouri and 2012 MIAA Hall of Fame inductee, Crane was a standout pitcher during his career under Tompkins. He had a four-year record of 21-8 with an earned run average of 2.42. He was an honorable mention All-American and first-team All-MIAA selection in 1974 and 1975. 4

In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. This facility also was funded by former Mules baseball legend Jim Crane.

REVIEW

While this site originally was under construction in 1975, the Mules played their home games at Warrensburg’s Grover Park. Prior to 1975, the Mules had played at a site where the Multipurpose Building and its surrounding parking lots now are located, as well as at Grover Park. The first game played at this site was on March 22, 1976 vs. Kansas State University. The Mules won the first game of a doubleheader 2-1, while the Wildcats won game two 7-4.

2013 Year in Review The Central Missouri Mules qualified for their 20th straight NCAA Tournament in 2013 and the 27th NCAA Tournament overall. They finished 36-13 overall and 28-8 in MIAA play, placing second in the league standings. The 2013 season snapped a streak of 14 consecutive seasons with 40 or more wins for the program. Mother nature wreaked havoc on the UCM schedule all season as the Mules played just 11 home games all season. They played 15 neutral site games, including nine that were “home” games for the Mules. The Mules ranked in the top three in the conference in batting, pitching and fielding, including an MIAA best .973 team fielding percentage. UCM hit .327 as a team to rank third in the league and their 4.01 team ERA was second best in the conference. Central Missouri was second in the league and eighth in NCAA Division II averaging over eight runs per game. The Mules ranked in the Top 20 in the nation in six offensive categories. The Mules began the season as they had no other, playing in a Major League Baseball stadium. UCM opened the season at the Inaugural Astros in Action Division II Invitational at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The Mules lost the season-opener 4-1 to Texas A&M-Kingsville, but ended up 3-1 at the season-opening classic, including a pair of in-region wins over Arkansas Tech and Arkansas-Monticello. The three straight wins in Houston started a streak of 12 straight wins for the Mules, which propelled them to a No. 3 national ranking. They suffered their first MIAA loss of the year against Nebraska-Kearney, but then won three straight to improve to 15-2. UCM had three more three-game winning streaks during the year and also had streaks of four and five consecutive wins. The Mules took two out of three from MIAA regular season champion Missouri Western in St. Joseph, including a 2-1 win in game two, in which Kurtis Schuyler pitched 8.1 innings of two-hit ball and a come-from-behind 6-5 win in the series finale where the Mules scored two runs with two outs in the ninth to claim the win. Central Missouri was eliminated in the first round of the conference tournament as the MIAA went to a first round best-of-three series format. Because of early May snow, the designated home games were moved to Hays, Kan. where UCM lost two of three to seventh-seeded Pittsburg State. The Mules earned the No. 2 seed in the Central Regional hosted by Minnesota State in Mankato, Minn. Central Missouri fell to fifth-seeded St. Cloud State 11-2 in the opener before rebounding for a 7-3 comeback win over Missouri Southern in the loser’s bracket. The season came to an end on day three of the regional with a 4-1 loss to Southern Arkansas. Ten Mules earned All-MIAA recognition, including catcher Chase Graskewicz, outfielder Kevin Gratza and relief pitcher Andrew Urban earning first team honors. Samuel Domingue, Kyle Grieshaber, Travis Higgs and John Oropeza were second team honorees, while Jon Cotter, Jake Heissler and Brad Wilson all earned honorable mention accolades. All-Region honors went to Graskewicz, Gratza, Grieshaber and Oropeza with Gratza and Oropeza earning first team nods. Both players would go on to earn All-America honors with Gratza being named Daktronics honorable mention and Oropeza earning honorable mention honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Additionally, Domingue was the Rawlings/ABCA Central Region Gold Glove winner at shortstop. Following the school year, 22 Mules were named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll with Domingue and Urban earning MIAA Scholar-Athlete honors with minimum 3.5 grade point averages and having earned All-MIAA honors.

REVIEW

Tom Szimanski to the mound for the top of the ninth. Szimanski had allowed just two earned runs all season. When he left after retiring just one of six batters, he had been charged with two runs and left the bases loaded. They didn’t stay loaded very long, though. Eric Stuckenschneider walked to force in a run, then Morgan Burkhart, the Mules’ starting pitcher who had stayed in the game as the DH, ripped a double barely fair down the left field line to clear the bases. The Mules led 14-8 going to the bottom of the ninth, but the Mocs loaded the bases with no outs. Smith then went to work and retired the next three batters and the Mules had made history with a 14-9 victory. Senior third baseman Rick Ladjevich was named NCAA Division II Player of the Year after batting .460 with 14 homers and 97 RBI, and Van Horn was selected Division II Coach of the Year (even though he was not named MIAA Coach of the Year). All-America honors also went to Stuckenschneider (first-team outfielder), who had overcome a rare blood disorder that very nearly ended his career, and former walk-on Bob Poisal (pitcher). Indeed, the Mules’ trail to the 1994 title James Smith – winning pitcher in the title game. may have been Photo Courtesy/Montgomery Examiner improbable, but it certainly was successful and became the dream of a lifetime come true – 1994 NCAA Division II National Champions.

MULES BASEBALL

To say that the Mules’ improbable trek to the 1994 national title followed an unusual trail would be a vast understatement. After all, this was a team that didn’t have a head coach six weeks before its season Dave Van Horn began. Dennis Woody 1994 NCAA Division II Coach of the Year had built the team for his fourth season as head coach, but in November the Kansas City Royals offered him a chance to join their scouting department. It was a career move he felt he couldn’t pass up. There was no shortage of applicants for the job – 108 to be exact. After Dave Van Horn interviewed for the job, there was no question who the next Mules’ head coach would be. Van Horn had built a successful program at Texarkana Junior College and also had strong ties to the University of Arkansas, where he had been a player and later an assistant coach. He had been a winner wherever he had been. Little did Mules fans know what an impact he would have. After going 38-9 in the regular season, the Mules opened postseason play. Central battled through the losers bracket to down Missouri-St. Louis 6-1 and 8-4 to claim the MIAA title. Now it was on to the NCAA Regional and again the Mules got to play on their home field. First they defeated Northern Colorado in a 7‑5 thriller before unleashing a pair of awesome offensive displays, pounding South Dakota State 20-8 and 19-7. Next stop: Montgomery, Alabama, for the NCAA Division II Championship. At Montgomery, the Mules found themselves seeded second in the eight-team field behind top-ranked Florida Southern. After defeating California-Riverside, 9-6, in game one and Armstrong State, 8-7, in game two, the Mules dropped a 10-3 decision to perrenial power Delta State University. Not to be deterred, though, Central came back and beat the Statesmen 8-2 to advance to its first-ever trip to the national championship game, where the Mules faced powerful Florida Southern, the team ranked number one in Division II throughout much of the season and a school that had won seven previous national titles. After two innings, the Mules were trailing 4-0. After five inn­ings, the Mules had gotten on the score­­board, but still trailed 6-2. Florida Southern decided to go for the knock­out punch and brought in pitching ace David Harris, even though he had pitched a nine-inning complete game the day before. But a six-run sixth inning sent Harris to the showers and put the Mules ahead for the first time. After Florida Southern tied the game in the eighth, the Mocs sent relief ace

2003 National Championship Another year, another title for the Central Missouri Mules. This time though, it wasn’t simply a league or regional crown. No, in 2003, the Mules went out and won the whole enchilada for the second time in school history. Unlike their first crown in 1994 when the numbers didn’t speak highly for the Mules, the 2003 squad put up some impressive statistics. UCM was fourth in the nation in batting, fifth in scoring, sixth in fielding, and seventh in team earned run average. The Mules baseball team clinched the MIAA regular season title with season-ending sweeps of Washburn and Northwest Missouri Brad Hill 2003 NCAA Division II State, and then downed Coach of the Year Missouri Western and Emporia State to claim the league tournament title. Next UCM rolled through the Regional Tournament with a 3-0 mark, defeating Minnesota-Duluth in the opening round and taking two from Rockhurst. Then it was on to Montgomery, Ala. for the fourth year in a row. The Mules swept through the field, going 4-0, to win their second national championship. In the opening round, the Mules drew Grand Valley State University. It took a stellar pitching performance by junior righthander Danny Powers and some late-inning heroics to pick up the 3-2 win. Powers scattered five hits in eight innings and struck out four while walking none for the win. Still, it was 2-2 going into the ninth. Steve Downey took care of that, as he singled to right, stole second and third, and scored the game-winner on Tommy Bryant’s sacrifice fly to shallow left field. Eric Horner then worked a perfect ninth to pick up his school-record 15th career save. Game two was not nearly as exciting, as UCM thumped Franklin Pierce 11-4. Carrying a 3-2 lead through three innings, the Mules exploded for six runs in the fourth. Phil Sobkow struck out nine to get the win, while Zach Norman went 4-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. And then the excitement began again. It was deja vu all over again for the Mules in the semifinals of the D-II Championships. After dropping a pair of games in extra innings in the 2002 World Series, the Mules found themselves in a similar position against Kennesaw State. But unlike those two efforts the previous year, this time it was Central Missouri which stood on top, as reliever Steve McReynolds, who hadn’t pitched in three weeks, came on to hold the Owls at bay. Leading 4-3, Steve Murphy extended the advantage in the sixth with a mammoth home run to center field. Kennesaw State, though, rallied with a run in the seventh, and Clint Watters homered to right off Mules closer Eric Horner in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 5-5. McReynolds’ effort (three innings of scoreless relief) set the stage for Zach Norman, as the All-America third baseman singled home Danny Guidry in the bottom of the 13th to advance the Mules to the championship game against Tampa. The Championship game, like round two, was all Mules. Up 3-0, UCM saw Tampa score four runs in

62

the fourth. But UCM responded with two runs in the sixth, another in the seventh, and five in an eighth-inning explosion, highlighted by Zach Norman and Joe Strada home runs. Danny Powers again claimed the win, allowing seven hits and four runs while striking out four over seven innings. Steve Downey was unstoppable in the contest, going 5-for-5 with two runs, an RBI, a double, and a stolen base to lead the Mules to their second national championship. The Mules finished 51-7 on the year and became the only team in NCAA Division II history to ever win 50 games four consecutive years. They were an amazing 25-1 in conference action. Junior first baseman Joe Strada and junior third baseman Zach Norman were named second-team All-Americans. Strada batted .415 with 22 doubles, seven triples, 11 home runs, and 84 runs batted in, while Norman hit .411 with 21 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, 87 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. Sophomore Danny Powers went a perfect 10-0 on the year with a 2.49 ERA. Junior lefthander Nick Denning was 9-1 on the season, and junior Phil Sobkow finished 8-0 with 82 strikeouts in 68.2 innings of work. Sobkow was drafted in the 10th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Norman signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Mules in the Pros Morgan Burkhart

Boston - 2000-01 • Kansas City - 2003 Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 27, 2000 and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game. In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina. He was 2-for-4 in the game. He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI. In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R.I.), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI. He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI. However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season. In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season. In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 (.200). Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI. A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up. With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana. He won three league MVP awards and was Baseball America’s Independent Player of the Year in 1998, when he hit .404 with 36 home runs and 98 RBI in 80 games. In fact, the Frontier League Most Valuable Player award is now named in his honor. In 1999 he was named MVP of the Mexican winter league after hitting 18 home runs and driving in 55 runs in 67 games. As a major leaguer, Burkhart finished his career with 121 at bats, five home runs, 23 RBI, and a .248 batting average. Photo courtesy of Boston Red Sox

Josh Outman

Oakland - 2008-09, 2011 • Colorado - 2012 Josh Outman became the second Central Missouri player to make his major league debut when the lefty tossed two scoreless innings for the Oakland Athletics against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on September 2, 2008. He became the first player to begin the season on a major league roster in 2009, and made 12 starts for the A’s with a 4-1 record before suffering an elbow injury in late June that put him out for the year. In 2005, the St. Louis, Mo. product was the No. 2 pitcher for the top-ranked Central Missouri Mules at the Division II College World Series. He finished his career at UCM with a bang as well, tossing an eight-inning, seven strikeout performance that defeated Delta State 2-1 on May 30, 2005. After the season he was one of five Mules pitchers drafted in the top 11 rounds of the 2005 First Year Player Draft (more than any other school that season). He was picked in the 10th round by the Philadelphia Phillies and quickly moved up in that organization until July 2008, when he was involved in a trade for Joe Blanton that sent him to the Oakland A’s farm system. Outman was traded to the Colorado Rockies in a three-player deal in January 2012 and will once again compete for a spot in the starting rotation in 2013. Photos courtesy of Colorado Rockies

This is Central Missouri The University of Central Missouri transforms students into lifelong learners, dedicated to service, with the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed and lead.

Future-Focused Academics

The world moves at a faster pace than ever before. UCM’s innovative programs use new technologies to keep students up to date on the latest changes in their fields of study. Our faculty members are accomplished in their fields as well. They bring their experiences in industry and academia to their classrooms for our on-campus students in Warrensburg and Lee’s Summit, as well as to their virtual classrooms through our online programs.

Hands-on Experience

Learning by doing is a cornerstone of our 150 academic programs. Through hands-on experiences, students take their knowledge from the classroom and apply it in real-life situations. Whether it’s conducting research with faculty members, developing a business plan for a local company or battling it out in a national criminal justice competition, UCM students graduate well prepared for the future with practical, applicable experience.

Culture of Service

For more than 140 years, UCM’s motto, “Education for Service,” has been embodied by students who volunteer countless hours assisting communities, businesses and non-profit agencies.

This tradition continues today when student groups clear debris after a tornado or build homes for local families through Habitat for Humanity. Service has always been a foundation of the university. By learning at a university that values that service, UCM students continue to make an impact on their communities long after they graduate.

Global Perspective

UCM values diversity in thought, culture and people. As a result, the university takes a worldly perspective on education and prepares students to thrive in a globalized economy.

President Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of UCM students, faculty and staff, and Warrensburg residents on July 24, 2013 at the UCM Student Recreation & Wellness Center.

88

UCM’s International Studies major examines global issues affecting human development, peace and security. The university’s study abroad programs connect students with more than 60 countries and 285 universities worldwide. UCM also has nearly 600 students from 47 different countries represented on campus. Experiencing these different ideas, cultures and people gives our students a unique perspective and prepares them for today’s global society.

University Administration

Dr. Charles Ambrose University President Charles M. Ambrose, Ed.D., became the 15th president of the University of Central Missouri on Aug. 1, 2010. A career educator who is a fervent advocate of servant leadership and engaged learning, he is committed to promoting academic quality, excellence in teaching and the collegiate experience. During his first year at UCM, President Ambrose helped guide the institution through the building of a new Strategic Governance Model in partnership with the Association for Governing Boards. He also provided leadership through an extensive administrative and academic review process designed to provide a stronger, more viable educational experience for students, while also cutting operational costs.

Ambrose sought to build student enrollment, an effort that continues to pay off with the largest enrollment in the university’s 140-year history. He has also begun a major initiative to encourage and provide assistance for students to graduate college within four years with less debt. The president continues to build strong relationships with the men and women who serve this country. This includes the establishment of the Whiteman Advantage Program, which brings together personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base and the university to work cooperatively in creating new educational opportunities for military members. The university also developed the Military Tuition Package, which provides savings on an education for military men and women currently serving their country, as well as their spouses and dependents, and veterans. Under his direction, the university developed a new strategic positioning initiative to provide a more articulated understanding of what makes UCM unique and helped guide the institution in establishing its future priorities. In fall 2012, Ambrose launched the new Missouri Innovation Campus, in collaboration with the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and private industry, which will allow students to begin college during their junior year of high school and complete a degree in four years with little or no debt.

President Ambrose attended Furman University, where he was a four-year letterman and captain of the soccer team. After graduating from Furman with a bachelor’s degree in sociology, he earned two advanced degrees in higher education administration, a master’s from the University of Louisville and a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia. Ambrose and his wife, Kris, are active in the community and have participated in charitable bike rides to raise funds and awareness for poverty, hunger and disease. The Ambroses have two children; Charlie, a college senior, and Kathryn, a college freshman.

Why the Mules? Take a Mule Refresher and Learn What’s So Special about Missouri’s State Animal

Often called mankind’s most successful hybrid, mules are the offspring of crossing a male donkey or jack with a female horse or mare. Since they can’t reproduce, mules have been bred one generation at a time for more than 3,000 years. A strong, resourceful beast of burden, the mule can outwork, outpull, outlive and outsmart a horse of similar size and type. In 1995, the mule became Missouri’s official state animal, but the long-eared creatures have been known as “Missouri Mules” long before then. The term, “Missouri Mules,” was used casually until it became famous at the historic 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. At that exposition a six-mule hitch belonging to W. A. Elgin of Platte County swept all competition, and a mule from a Morgan County farm received the $10,000 Mayor’s Award. Newspaper accounts of this show-ring prowess brought worldwide attention to the state’s mule breeders and helped assure that the largest and finest animals would be known as “Missouri Mules.”

Many people assume that the relationship of mules and jennies is the same as that of siblings, but jennies are female donkeys. So, the relationship of mules and jennies is really the same as nephew/niece and aunt. Jenny is a common name but technically a female donkey is a jennet. Popular with farmers and settlers because of its hardy nature, Missouri Mules pulled pioneer wagons to the Wild West and played a crucial role in moving troops, artillery and supplies in several wars. In fact, many of the mules used in World War I were shipped by train from Warrensburg. The mule’s affiliation with Central Missouri dates back to the early 1920s. When the 1921-22 school year began, school officials decided “Normals” and “Teachers” were no longer appropriate nicknames for UCM’s athletic teams. Therefore, the school’s Athletic Committee established a contest that promised the winner a three-year postgraduate subscription of the school newspaper. More than 80 suggestions were received, but the winning entry was submitted by John Thomason of Chilhowee, class of 1924, who felt at least one Missouri team should be known as “Mules.” Central Missouri’s fifth mascot - Mancow - is the university’s first real Missouri mule. The line-back brown mule comes from Paradise Mules in Belle, Mo. It took several months for farm manager Dave Ewing to find the perfect mule. He was determined to acquire the right mule trained to remain calm around big crowds and loud noises - that game cannon gets loud! Mancow the Mule is the second UCM mule to be tall (14.1 hands), a result of her thoroughbred heritage. The university’s first three mules were Shetland Pony breeds. She’s the second mule to be presented to the university as a gift. Erich “Mancow” Muller, ‘88, made a gift to purchase the new mascot. Abbedale, her immediate predecessor, was donated to the university by 1938 alumnus and well-known mule producer, Sam Smiser from Newhall, Calif. The 10-year-old mare mule represented the university at home football games and other events. UCM agriculture students care for her at Prussing Farm, a few miles east of Warrensburg on Division Road. Following her first appearance at the 2004 Missouri State Fair, Mancow saw her first game action, as Central Missouri hosted MIAA-rival Northwest Missouri State on Sept. 11.

Mule #2 - Little Mo in the 1950s

Top 10 Reasons to Admire a Mule

1 0. Affectionate and loving as a dog 9. Can carry heavy loads, up to 300 pounds 8. Rarely miss when they aim to kick something 7. Jump amazing heights from a stand-still start (go watch a mule jump at a county fair - it’s amazing!) 6. Have a laid-back style and won’t be rushed 5. Valued so highly, once bought sight unseen 4. Inspire attitudes - cum mula peperit (when a mule foals), similar to once in a blue moon 3. Knows when to quit (hence its reputation for stubbornness) 2. Intelligent and not afraid of working 1. Because it became our mascot in 1922, over the skunk, bobcat and hippopotamus! 96

Of course, visitors to Warrensburg can also take in the exciting athletic events and various cultural experiences provided at the University of Central Missouri.

Other attractions in the area include Powell Gardens, a 1,250 acre botanical garden just 12 miles west of Warrensburg on Missouri Highway 50 that contains hiking trails, picnic areas, and seasonal displays; Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Mo., home of the B-2 Bomber; Knob Noster State Park; and the Missouri State Fair, held each August in Sedalia, Mo.

PLAYERS

In the late 1800s and early 1900s Warrensburg was considered the Missouri Mule Capital because of the Horse and Mule Barn operated by the Jones Brothers on Railroad Street. Mules from the area won prizes at the State Fair (located just 30 minutes east in Sedalia, Mo.) and at even larger expositions like the one in St. Louis in 1904. The mule barn carried the motto, “Through these portals passed the meanest mules on earth.”

“The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.”

STAFF

Warrensburg is a city that emerged from a frontier gathering place more than 150 years ago. In 1833, a blacksmith from Kentucky named Martin Warren chose a well-travelled spot along an Osage Indian Trail to build a cabin and set up his blacksmith shop. His shop served as an informal gathering place for local farmers. Three years after moving to Missouri, Mr. Warren’s shop was named the county seat of the newly created County of Johnson. The township was named Warren’s Burg in honor of the local blacksmith, and in 1855, the township was incorporated and became the City of Warrensburg. It is that same strong midwestern work ethic displayed by its founder, and the same friendly atmosphere shown by his neighbors that may be seen in Warrensburg today.
