The district finally quit stalling and officially named the stadium after Ed Baume. It took far too much pressure to force them to honor a man who gave decades of his life to this school, but we dragged them across the finish line. Keep your eyes on the administration to …

"Let the Dream Live!" Please join me in petitioning to have the new stadium at Costa Mesa High School named after our beloved Ed Baume who has bled green since way back in the 60's.
Edgar Baume moved to Costa Mesa in 1965 with his wife and two sons. Ed worked as an executive with the Boy Scouts of America and transferred down to Costa Mesa from Northern California to help build his district...the Orange Empire. He quickly made Costa Mesa his home by getting involved in the community. He played a key role in establishing and growing the Costa Mesa youth football program in the 70's serving as league president for several years as well as on the board in other capacities. When his boys Steve and Gary entered high school, Ed did not hesitate to volunteer as a booster. At one point Ed even served as both Football and Baseball Booster President as his boys suited up to play for the Mustangs. Once his boys were finished with high school, Ed continued serving the youth in the community by coaching baseball and serving on the board of Costa Mesa Pop Warner (CMPW). As soon as the next generation of Baumes, grandsons Sean and Dan, were ready for play, Ed continued his volunteerism at CMHS by joining the boosters again. Now at the ripe age of 88, in addition to serving on the Board of CMPW as our Director of Football, he continues to keep stats for CMHS Football which he started doing back in the early 90’s for then Coach Max Miller. Through the various administration, coaching, and booster changes we have seen at CMHS, one constant remained the same….year after year, you could count on Ed to keep stats for Mustang Football. Edgar Baume has dedicated his entire life to improving youth and high school sports organizations for Costa Mesa because it just runs in his blood...which time and time again he reminds us is GREEN!!!

We just hit 250 signatures and the school board can no longer ignore this. Ed Baume dedicated his entire life to these kids while the administration sits on their hands. Keep the pressure on until they give this man the honor he earned.

Mr. Costa Mesa. He was all about youth and youth sports. Only proper to have his legacy live on in CM.
Like my dad, Al Dies, Ed Baume dedicated countless hours of service and commitment to CM youth football. I think it makes perfect sense to recognize his work by naming the stadium after him.
Very well deserved. Ed volunteered because he loved our community not for personal recognition. Naming the stadium after him is the perfect way we can thank him.
No one deserves this more, then Ed. He has dedicated his life to serving his sons and grandsons in sports and is awaiting the day to keep the tradition going with his great grandson, as well as, countless youth at Costa Mesa High and the Pop Warner community. May he always be remembered!!
Such an amazing man and has given to this city unselfishly longer than anyone I know. I know that when my husband was at Costa Mesa high school... He was a continuous supporter and even till this day! We need more people like him involved with our children.
Yes put his name on the score board. Maybe one day also put a display of past teams that deserved to have the stadium but never were given that chance. Had to go to Newport Harbor or OCC to play our home games.
Yes yes yes

I remember Ed Baume when I played high school football for the Mustangs. I played ball with his grandsons, Dan and Sean Baume. Ed had such Mustang spirit and loved Mustang football.
