Saturday June 7.  Come to the ballpark and remember the good old days. Check out what's new and what's the same.  BS with your old friends. Make new ones.

The league was started in 1952 so there are many alumni with many memories to share.

A full slate of games will be played, with all teams participating starting at 10:00 and continuing all day.

There will be a chicken Bar-B-Que starting at 11:30 ($6.50) with the Owego Fire Department preparing the meals.

Maybe you can find an old team jersey at the "garage" sale.

Pass the word. A day at the ballpark is always worth it. 

National and American League players will have the opportunity to work on their skils at the weekly skills clinics.  No need to sign up - just show up.

Pitching:  The league will conduct pitching clinics every Tuesday at 6:00 in the pitching area between Rafis and Beauter Fields.

Baseball Skills: Starting May 24th, every Saturday at 3:00PM the league will be conducting skills clinics. Participants will receive a hat and T-Shirt courtesy of All-Star Sports.

All week the forecast was for rain on Saturday May 3rd, but Mother Nature knows better than to mess with Opening Day.  Sixteen games were scheduled, the weather cleared, and 16 games were played.

Following the traditional Little League Parade, the opening ceremonies were held on Nick Raftis Field - hosted by Jim Raftis. The ceremonies were highlighted by the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and the National Anthem by the 4th and 5th grade players from Owego Elementary School, under the direction of Sue Peacock.

The Owego Elks presented the American Flag and the POW/MIA flag was presented by the Vietnam Veterans, who then conducted the flag raising.

President Ken Winters thanked the assemblage for all the volunteer help they provide the league, and presented Special Appreciation Awards to Sue Peacock and Ben Dragon for their service to the league.

 The Dick Horton "I do it for the kids" Award, esatblished in memory in 2003, was presented this year to Mike Slavetskas, coach, league president, umpire, and builder of the Teener program, and to Rose Winters, coach in both baseball and softball, concession worker, and long time uniform manager.

The first pitches were thrown, including one by new pitcher "Atec Jr." who is joining the re-configured machine-pitch division this year.

Then on to the games - all 16 covering Tee-Ball, Modified (Machine Pitch), American Baseball and Softball, and National Baeball and Softball.

The season is under way. If it continues as well as opening day, it will be wonderful. 

We will be updating the schedule periodically to show Baseball National standings and for reschedules. The updates will be posted here and at the park.

The on-line schedule is in the League Information section. The drop-down does not update the upload date so check anyhow.

The league has oppportunities for you. Join in the fun. Support the kids, baseball, and the community.

UMPIRES: We are always looking for volunteer umpires. Whether once a week, or more if you love it, you can enjoy the best seat in the house. Need training - no problem. We conduct training sessions to teach you how. Contact Jim Medovich on 754-6319.

WORKBEE DAYS: Like puttering around in the dirt?  Maybe you are good at handyman tasks. Things always need fixing. New things need to be built. Fields need to be maintained. This year's workbees are April 19th and 26th. Not available those days? We can always use help during the season too.
