SMSBL President's 2018 HOF Message
SMSBL President
Alan VanNess
It is my honor and privilege to welcome this year’s HOF class. It is quite the honor to have been selected myself to join you. With many of you it was a pleasure to be your team mate and now we are forever team mates in this enshrinement. I hope this evening will be special for you and your families. Thank you Phil and Patty Gelhaus for your hosting this special evening.

This year 2018,we have grown even more with the merger of the Sunday Cordova MBL league. On behalf of the SMSBL, I would like to welcome Eric Aller & Juan Yanez and all their teams. This addition will help grow our bright future, as the majority of those teams are 18+. The SMSBL is now the largest league in the country as we now exceed 100 teams and boost 4 leagues. Our league has been given notice that this will be our last full season at McAuliffe. Groundbreaking should begin by August. To lead this league through this transition will be both an honor and a challenge. This is not something I could accomplish without the help from my fellow board members. It also is going to require excessive volunteering from players in this league to see this transition through.

I would like to thank the current board members for their continued service. Please visit www.smsbl.com to see all they do. There also are many non board members who volunteer to keep this league successful. Jim Tygrett-DeNuzzi- League consultant, Jane Burkitt - Photography, Jeff Gardenhire - Father Son Director, Ken Jungsten- 60 Commissioner, Juan Yanez - 18 Commissioner. Also a special recognition to Brad Crawford- Field Maintenance. The fields and our complex are still the most desirable in Northern California.

Thank You,
Alan Van Ness
