BURR RIDGE PARK DISTRICT FALLBALL 2010

Welcome to the Burr Ridge Park District's home for the latest news, pictures and standings for the Fallball Baseball Leagues.

Rollie Clark, 1947-2010

On Wednesday, July 21, Rollie Clark passed away. Rollie has long been an umpire for the local community and was an integral part of the growth of the Burr Ridge Fallball Baseball League. His dedication to the league was unprecedented as he drove to Burr Ridge 3 evenings per week and on Sundays from Sandwich, IL just to be a part of the action. Rollie rolled up on his trike proudly displaying his Vietnam POW-MIA flag and always wore his American flag bandana. As an umpire Rollie demanded the respect of the players and coaches on the field and placed a high value on performing at his best each and every game.

Over the years, Rollie became a good friend. He cared about my staff and during the winter months checked in to see how everyone was doing. Also, Rollie was never shy to tell you about his fishing adventures, his "trike" trips on the open roads to Arizona, his projects as an ironworker, or his trials and tribulations serving our country in Vietnam. Thank you Rollie!



Individual Players Seeking Teams

Generally speaking, several teams are looking for an extra player or two for the fall season. There will not be a "Showcase/Evaluation Night" this season. The final decision on a team's roster is up to each team's manager. 

Please send an email to: mpasqualini@brparks.org

Your email must include the following player information: Name, age, current league/team, and level that you want to participate. Parent information needed: Name, email and phone number (home or mobile).

Your email will then be forwarded to the coaches in the appropriate age and experience level. At that point it is up to the coaches to contact you directly about participating on their team.
