The Perfect Game Movie

The Perfect Game Movie -- available to rent at Redbox

In the summer of 2007, approximately twenty players from Whittier Little League participated as background talent in the filming of “The Perfect Game.”  The movie was released in theaters in 2010.  It is available to rent at Redbox.  So if you haven't had a chance to see it yet, be sure to watch it and maybe you will spot one of our WLL boys in the scenes (photos from the film shooting is available under handouts).

Synopsis:  Based on a true story. In 1957 a rag-tag, shoeless, poor group of kids from Monterrey, Mexico shocked the world by winning 13 games in a row and the Little League World Series in the only perfect game ever pitched in the Championship. These kids, led by their priest and a down-and-out former major leaguer embark on a journey through the southern US and up into Williamsport, PA for the Championship game. They encountered many adversities including nearly being deported and the bigotry that wouldn't allow them into certain restaurants or travel on certain buses. They never lost their faith and eventually captured the hearts of both nations. This is a heart-warming inspirational story in the tradition of "Rudy", "Hoosiers", "Coach Carter" or "Friday Night Lights". Written by John Bradly  taken from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473102/plotsummary. Visit http://www.theperfectgamemovie.com/ for more information.

2012 Newsletters
The bi-monthly 2012 Newsletters are available in color under Handouts.  If you have any pictures or articles for Around the Bases to submit, please send an e-mail to whittierlittleleague@yahoo.com by the Wednesday before the newsletter is distributed.

Parking at Orchard Dale and suspicious behavior
Please DO NOT park in front of the gate on Mulberry, inside the school grounds, or the condo complex next door; and please do not leave any part of your car obstructing the sidewalk.  The same rules apply when parking on the Dunton side of the school facility.  We have had complaints from some of the neighbors, and they have informed us that they will call the Sheriff's if this happens again.  

Specifically, one of the neighbors was walking down the side walk on Mulberry with a child in a stroller.  A vehicle was parked (on more than one occasion) 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the driveway blocking the side walk.  As a result, they had to walk in the street to get by.  This area should ALWAYS be left clear in the event that we have a delivery or an emergency, which we do have from time to time.  NEVER block this driveway or sidewalk. 
If the Sheriffs are called, the vehicle may be ticketed or towed. 

Recently we were informed by a parent that he witnessed two people walking up and down Mulberry during practice times looking into vehicles.  The two stopped at a parked Honda and attempted to break into the vehicle.  The parent (who is also a police officer) identified himself and the two individuals ran away.  

Please be aware of any suspicious behavior and be sure to take precautions when parking your vehicle at the baseball fields (including in the school parking lot and on the Dunton side.) 

Unfortunately, there is no sure way to prevent a car from being broken into, but there are ways to decrease risks significantly. 

1.  Make sure there is nothing valuable sitting in plain sight. It is best to just not keep expensive items in your car, but for some things (like a stereo), there is no alternative.
2.  Roll all of the windows up all the way and lock all the doors. This should be obvious. 

Taking these precautions is certainly no guarantee that your vehicle will be safe.  But these are precautions everyone should take.

In order to give timely information to parents and leagues, some of the changes were announced several weeks ago. One change, in the bat regulations, has been further updated since the first announcement. The update clarifies the penalty for using an illegal bat.

field assistance

WANTED/NEEDED:  HELP WITH FIELD MAINTENANCE.  

It takes more than a few individuals to keep up with all the maintenance and grooming to keep our fields looking wonderful for our kids to play on during the season.  Our fields need attention year around in order to keep them from getting run down during the off season.  

If you would be interested in volunteering your time to help with the fields, please contact President David Soto at 562-447-6987.
