We are about to embark on this Leagues 24th Season.  We on the Board (just players like yourselves) want to thank the Managers for the hard work in helping get this season off the ground.  As with any system there is a certain amount of work required by all to make the system function at its best (hopefully!).  We have done everything possible to make this the best system yet in this Leagues history.  Is it perfect, No, we know that and are constantly trying to come up with ways to make things better.  Your input and support is valued by this Board and we encourage you to come forward to help.

Things to remember:

1.  Base Coaches must wear a helmet.

2.  Do Not under any circumstances use a player that has not paid and signed a waiver & consent. Doing this could result in your suspension, forfeiture of games and the end of time as we know it.

3.  Dropping "F Bombs" regarding balls & strikes will be an automatic ejection.

4.  Any ejection results in a one game suspension for the next immediate game with the potential for more games after the Division Commissioner reviews the ejection.

5.  Boards Members while on the field of play are players.  Issues regarding the League should be discussed off the field of play not during a game. 

6.  We need you to LEAD your team, it is vital that you do everything possible to control your         players during the game.  Emailing us or Mike Miklaus after about umpires is preferred.  I have never seen an umpire change a call after being yelled at or having something thrown at them.

7.  Please try to participate in the Golf Tournament!!!!

8.  Lastly, from this Board we sincerely hope that you have a great season of baseball
