Horton Award Recipients Named
The 2009 honorees for outstanding volunteer contributions to the league are Suzanne Peacock for many years of service a league secretary, assistant concession manager, and director of the league choir that performs opening day. Dean Smith and Steve Lounsberry for their years serving as treasurer, bringing in sponsors, selling advertizing billboards, and keeping us fiscally sound over many years. Our heartfelt thanks. The league wouldn't be the same without their contributions.
Learn the Rules Now - Save Some Grief Later
There are a lot of rules that we just know for sure. The problem is, a lot of these "rules" are myths and old wives tales. Check out the rules information on the league "Rules Info" page or click on the link below. You might just get a surprise or two. The rules don't always mean exactly what they say. If you have any questions, post them on the rules message board. (You need to be a member of the site. If you aren't, Eteamz should offer you the opportunity to join if you aren't one when you try to use the board.) Or e-mail Rich Ives (richives@stny.rr.com).

Schedule Updates
We will be updating the schedule periodically to reflect changes and show the Baseball National standings. Last updated at 2PM June 9.
2009 Handbook Published
The league operating handbook is available in the "League Information" section. It contains significant information on league operations and rules. Please take the time to read it.
Pitching Rule Option Selected
For the Little League Baseball division (National and American) in 2009, the league has decided to use "Option 1" (Regulation VI Paragraph (d)) of the pitching regulation. This option is the same as the 2008 pitching rule. A copy of the rule has been posted in the "League Information" section of the board under the "Rules: . . " sub-section.
Umpiring - You Can Do It - We Can Help
Love a challenge? Want to become or stay involved in the league? Try umpiring. Most have found it to be a rewarding avocation. Umpiring has been described as having the best seat in the house. It has also been described as a job where you have to be perfect the first time out and then get better. In any event, for someone who has had their child graduate, it is a good way to continue your involvement in the league. For others it may be a way to become involved without committing to all the time and days managing or coaching would require. Sound interesting? Be one of the blue crew. Check out the rules quizzes and the foul ball test found on the League Information page. Contact our Umpire in Chief Jim Medovich for more info.
