SECOND CHANCE TO TRYOUT FOR THE MAJOR LEAGUES
Saturday, September 17th at 4:00 pm at Lorusso Field in Hyannis (behind the Hy East school)
- All 10-12 year olds are welcome, encouraged, and eligible to tryout
- The major league is a competitive league with 12 teams divided into two divisions: Tom Wallace American and National
Here is some of the GREAT reasons to play for the major league:
- Playing time: Rules state that every player must play at least 6 defensive outs and 1 at bat or be the DH. This means that no one rides the pine...
- No one can be the DH twice unless ALL players on the team have been DH once.
- Major Leagues play some games under the lights at Lorusso.
- There are playoffs for the American League and the National League with the chance to win great trophies.
- The chance to be on a team that makes it to the Town Championship!! More trophies!!
- Learn baseball from some great coaches and players.
So if you thought the Major Leagues were not for you, think again! Come and tryout!!
Annual Meeting Date has been changed
Thursday, September 29th at 7:00 pm at the Hyannis Elks
Everyone is welcome to the meeting. New officers will be voted on and the 2012 season will be discussed. Come and meet some of the volunteers that contribute their talents to make youth baseball possible in Barnstable. Do you have ideas you'd like to share? or a skill or talent you think might improve the organization? We won't know unless you come to the meeting! See you there...
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. ~Maya Angelou
