Mets

What an Opening Day! Blessed with beautiful weather, our Opening Day Parade brought all 350 kids onto the field, led by Billy the Marlin. After the Star-Spangled Banner, and the Little League pledges, we waited with baited breath for Ivan Rodriguez. To pass the time, Marlins third base coach Ozzie Guillen fielded questions from the players, and the Rookies started their games. Finally, Ivan arrived, and to make up for his tardiness, he and Ozzie threw not one but two opening pitches. He stayed behind to sign autographs as well. What did you think about Opening Day? Tell us, on the Opening Day Message Board. Also, check here soon for photographs from the big day!

Our uniforms have arrived. Managers, please be sure and communicate any shortages to Board Member Sari Addicott as soon as possible, so she can place the change order. Tell your players that the patch goes on the left sleeve just below the shoulder.

As you know, our league is volunteer based. Our Board of Directors is completely volunteer, as are our managers and coaches. It is therefore vitally important that everyone try to find something to do to help the league. There is plenty to choose from, even though our managers have all been appointed: managing, coaching, umpiring, working on the newsletter, working the concession stand, and many more things. Please, if you are able to donate some time to help our kids, become a volunteer by filing out this volunteer application form. You'll be repaid ten-fold in smiles!
