The board finally reached out and the field is officially being renamed to honor Coach Nap which is just incredible news. I am honestly a bit overwhelmed thinking about all those players who signed and helped make this happen because he really deserves this legacy. I will be sure to …

Victor Napolitano was the Pennsbury High School Baseball coach for 28 seasons. He won 13 league titles, 3 District 1 championships, 1 PIAA Final Four appearance. He touched many lives both as a coach and a teacher in his 36 years at Pennsbury.Vic has been inducted into the Pennsbury Athletics Hall of Fame (2001 inaugural class), the Temple University Athletics Hall of Fame (2009), and the Bucks County Sports Hall of Fame (2010). Since his passing in 2012, I have been pushing to have the Pennsbury Baseball field officially named after Victor Napolitano.

Coach "Nap" has been part of the Pennsbury Family since 1956 and needs to be honored in this way. I applied following his passing, but have not received any notification.This is not about the wins or the titles. Coach Nap made a positive impact on so many people in the Pennsbury community. We owe this to him.

Please sign this petition and forward the link to anyone that you know that would be interested in honoring him in this way.

Thank You,

Joe Pesci
Pennsbury Baseball Coach

I was just looking at the count and realized we are almost at five hundred signatures which is honestly kind of overwhelming because it really shows how much Coach meant to all of us. If you could just send this link to a few people you know who played for him or sat in those bleachers it would give us that extra push while the momentum is actually building.

I had the pleasure of knowing and covering Vic for a long time. He was always one of the classiest coaches I dealt with throughout my 28 years covering local high school sports in this area. His would be a great name to grace your field Falcons!

I had posted that the Varsity field already had a name. It does not. Joseph Yatsko field is the major field at Levittown American. This was confirmed with the Pennsburys Veteran's Page and also with Levittown American. We should name the Pennsbury varisty field after Coach Nap.

It was my good fortune to know both Vic and his wife Jenny. Vic coached my son Brian and itwas evident how much he care for his young players. Great caoach and great man who deserves to be recognized.

Mr. Nap is and always will be one of my favorite teachers. We kept in touch until he passed away. He was a wonderful man. Naming a baseball field after him truly honors the great teacher, coach and friend he was to so many.

PHS Class of 1975- Great man. Always thankful for how he treated me when I tried out for team after not playing organized ball since I was in Little League. Treated me with respect and dignity even when I couldn't hit anything Ken Johnson threw at me. :)
