Announcement
District 33 is Permanently Represented at Western Region
District 33 is now represented at Western Region headquarters in San Bernardino forever. The District purchased a Bollard for the North parking lot. You're asking yourself, what the heck is a Bollard? Well here is the story behind the WR Bollards.
Jim Gerstenslager, Western Region Director, was given a directive by Williamsport to create a barrier between Little League Drive and the northern parking lot of the Western Region complex. It had been suggested that a series of posts and a sturdy chain would stop vandals that were using the area for their own personal enjoyment with no regard to the Little League’s property. An idea was concocted that a series of concrete baseballs and softballs would certainly due the job but the cost did seem out of the question. However, after some research and some negotiation Western Region found a company that was local to the complex and would delight in creating the diverters for them.
These diverters are called Bollards; you will see them at schools, public parks and roads throughout the country. The Western Region bollards are unique because not only will they do the job as requested by Williamsport but it is an opportunity for leagues, districts and individuals throughout the region to have their own personal testimonial to Little League, but also a small portion of the donation will go to the maintenance and upkeep of the Western Region complex. The 1200 pound white baseballs are made of white concrete, and placed on a foundation formed in the shape of a home plate. They are secured by bolts and are sprayed with a chemical so that graffiti can be easily removed. A 4”x 6”cutout strategically placed on the ball is inserted with our District name.
