SCHEDULE UPDATE: NOTE: LAFAYETTE SATURDAY GAMES SCHEDULED FOR 10:00AM IN LAFAYETTE MUST BE PLAYED AT 2:30. Schedules are all up on the site. So far everything looks good. Good luck to everyone.
DIRECTIONS: Did NOT follow the links from this site to game locations. Please note the following: (a) FRANKFORD 2 field is located on Clove Road in Montague. Go Rt 206N almost to PA. Clove rd is the first right after Montague Elem. Follow that road for about 4-5 miles and field is on left. (b) All STILLWATERFREDON games are at their Swartswood location. Take Swartswood Rd by SCCC and follow for several miles. Field is on left across from firehouse. (c) FRANKFORD 1 have all their games at Frankford Park. (d) Wallkill Major and Minor games are at the Franklin Pond. The Junior games are at the filed in the middle Ogdensburg on Rt 517. (e) SussexWantage games are at Brookside. (f) OBB ENGLER is at CO Johnson. (g) LAFAYETTE games are at the Lafayette elem school.
FALL BALL: Well after a month off, I am back and with only slightly recharged batteries. Oh well...PLAY BALL! I will be posting the schedules for Fall Ball here as soon as I get a chance. In the mean time, I sent emails out earlier this morning to all parties involved with schedules attached. However, I am still working on the Juniors. This is my first venture into Fall Ball so I will apologize in advance for any mis-steps I have made regarding the schedules. (INSTRUCTIONS NOTE) When you select a catagory to review from the main screeen, you may stil see the All-Star information displayed. Don't panic! Just go to the upper right hand corner and select the "Season" dropbox. CLICK on that and you will see "2007 Fall Ball". CLICK on that and the Fall Ball information you seek will appear.
EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGE: Some time this fall, my email address will be changing. For now, when sending me an email, please include dave78742112@yahoo.com along with my current address. Thanks.
ENDING NOTE: Another District tournament season has come to pass. First of all, I would like to thank our District Administrator Lori Grant for all her hard work and dedication. Also, a big round of applause to Vinnie Cautero who did a spectacular job as our umpire-in-chief. Congratulations to you Vinnie and all your umpires on a job well done. I personally need to thank Peter Hargrove for being my backup and the guy who always says things like; "David, you have that game listed as 6:00am. Shouldn't it be 6:00pm?" Thank you, Peter! The District would also like to make sure we all acknowledge the time and effort that our League Presidents and various Board Members put in to make sure all the teams' needs are meet. Of course, we wouldn't have a tournament without the tremendous support of our volunteer coaches and managers or the parents that drive their children all over the county to attend the games. Thank you coaches! Thank you parents!
Last but certainly not least, we need to thank every single player that participated this season. I realize that the main objective of these tournaments is to determine a district champion. However, we do have other goals as well. One of mine is to assure that every child that competes has an oppurtunity to learn more about the game of baseball, about being a good teammate and working with others, and especially to learn something about themselves individually. After all, we are not just raising baseball players, but our future. I think you will find that as you look back upon this season, you will not only remember specific game moments, but more so those moments that helped build the character of our children whether it was in victory or defeat...smiles or tears. To each and every player...thank you and we hope that you come back next season.
