West Allis NATIONALS Baseball

Thanks go out to Cesar's Inn for their $500 contribution towards this year's team. Please stop off on behalf of the Nationals and say thanks to Gary and Elizabeth Janocik by buying the bar a drink!

Who'd have guessed that two forty somethings would have stole the show at the first annual Old Timers/Hall of Fame Game? Kuhnke's four shutout innings set the tone and provided confidence and energy to the Old Timers while Beres proved hitting is like riding a bike in going 2-3 in the innaugural contest. The standard has been set. Congrats Dave and Bill.

*** PUNCHED FENCE IN TANTRUM, BLOODIED KNUCKLES....ROOKIE!

Board Member and longtime National Bench Coach, JJ Neibauer, is stepping down after 12 seasons. Neibauer was an integral part of multiple management teams through the 90's and 00's. His influence with managers, players, umpires, scorekeepers, and scribes will be missed. Though shedding his uniform, Neibauer will remain active in the team's front office. Neibauer will serve as the team's correspondent to the West Allis Star. Always an original, JJ will be honored as such. JJ's #11 will become the first number retired by the club in recognition of his unique contributions off the playing field. Congratulations go out to JJ Neibauer and his newly retired #11.

The Sat. May 10 game versus Pewaukee has been cancelled due to a lack of field availability. An alternative, informal practice has been scheduled for 9AM at Hale for those who can attend.
