corylidle: Welcome

Welcome to the

Cory Lidle Memorial Baseball Tournament

Home Page

The Cory Lidle Foundation would like to thank all of our remarkable volunteers for making the 4^th Annual Cory Lidle Memorial Baseball Tournament a success.  Your continued kindness and dedication to the tournament have made it the accomplishment it is today.  This year was our biggest turn out to date with 56 teams, 14 fields and over 800 players. We would not have gotten through this weekend without you, our gracious volunteers.

I would like to extend a special thanks to the following people:

Umpire in Chief Ken Mort and his umpiring crew for donating their time to officiate over 40 games in only three days! 

Cameron Saylor, Diane France and the Dukes Baseball Organization at Maverick Academy. In addition to hosting 10 games, the semi-final and championship games, Cameron, Diane and the Dukes parents generously raised and donated an impressive $2,325 from their snack bar and entry fees!

Lynda Denman and the Glendora/Pony Colt Organization.  Lynda and her devoted crew worked to help not only for the foundation but to help one of their own, fifteen year old Jacob Barrett, who is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for a tumor in his sinus cavity.  Snack bar and T-shirt sales will go directly to the Barrett family for expenses.

Eddie Perez and the Hollenbeck “Crew”.  The guys over at Hollenbeck Field worked from dusk til dawn prepping the field to make it immaculate for our tournament.  They were kindly enough to let use their snack stand and even collected entry fees all weekend for a combined amount of $1000.

Tom Quinley and the Charter Oak Volunteers. The founders of this tournament. Four years later still working hard and donating all of their snack bar and entry fee sales donating $760 this year.  Without you, we would not be here.
