Welcome to Easton Little League 

Easton will play host to a larger-than-life “presidential” visitor this Saturday!   “Teddy,” whose futile quest to win a President’s Race at Nationals Park has generated an outpouring of national support and made him one of our region’s most beloved sports entertainers, will pay a visit to Easton Little League’s player registrations on Saturday, January 28.  He will be on hand to greet players and their families from 11 a.m. to noon.   

Registrations will be held for all Easton Little League divisions at the Talbot County Operations Center, located at 605 Port Street in Easton.  Doors will open at 9 a.m., and registrations will remain open until noon.    

Registration costs for the T-Ball, AA and Minor League Girls Softball divisions will remain at $40, with registrations for the AAA, Little League Boys and Little League Girls divisions remaining at $60.  There will also be a $150 family cap.  Checks are to be made payable to Easton Little League.  Registration for Talbot Junior and Senior League Baseball and Softball will be held at the same times and locations.  Fees for those divisions are $75 and checks should be made payable to Talbot Junior League.   

Teddy, who bears an obvious and uncanny resemblance to America’s 26^th President, races during the fourth inning of every Washington Nationals’ home game against fellow Presidents “Abe” (Lincoln), “George” (Washington) and “Tom” (Jefferson).  Teddy has been described on the Nationals’ team website as “a mystery…a crowd favorite among fans who seem baffled by his seeming inability to win.”  It goes on to note that “he's got the skills, he's got the drive, he's got the brains, yet victory has been elusive. Maybe it's his independent Bull-Moose spirit. Teddy doesn't like to play by the rules. He's been spotted in the Upper Bowl, or tossing t-shirts, or cruising in a golf cart, while his racing compatriots stick to the track.”

Baseball and softball is right around the corner!

Registration this year will be held on the following dates:

• Saturday, January 21, 9 am - noon
• Saturday, January 28, 9 am - noon
• Saturday, February 4, 9 am - noon

We will be holding registration at the Talbot County Operations Center, located at 605 Port Street (just off of the Easton bypass).

We are happy to announce that registration fees will remain the same this year as last - $40 for players in T-Ball, AA and Minor League Girls and $60 for Little League Boys and Girls.  There will also be a $150 family cap.  Checks are to be made payable to Easton Little League.  Parents should bring a copy of a birth certificate to confirm age eligibility, as well as fill out a player registration form and a medical form.  These are listed in the handouts section and can be filled out ahead of time.  Blank forms will also be available at registration.

Registration for Talbot Junior and Senior League Baseball and Softball will be held at the same times and locations.  Fees for those divisions are $75 and checks should be made payable to Talbot Junior League.

If you are unsure about what division your child should play, there is information about that in handouts as well, and board members will be available at registration to answer any questions you may have.  In the meantime, feel free to contact Lauren Halterman, President, at lhalterman@chesapeake.edu or at 410-714-1039 or Lisa Baillif, Player Agent, at lisabaillif@gmail.com.
