On another note, some of you may have been hearing rumors about a potential merger between the two 12-U baseball leagues in Arlington. Arlington County's Parks and Recreation Department has indeed been initiating discussions about uniting the efforts of the two organizations. A merger is the right goal for Arlington's children , but please understand the following...
 
Until the priorities of Arlington Little League - safety first, competitive balance, and a commitment to Character, Courage, and Loyalty - become paramount to all youth baseball in Arlington, the idea is a non-starter.
 
Arlington Little League stands behind our ideals.  I hope that, when the time comes - and it is quickly approaching - you'll let the County know that you do too. 

I will be happy to discuss any of the above items, or any other baseball related matter, in greater detail.  Simply e-mail or call when convenient.

See you soon!
