Season to start on August 30th

July 17, 2015

We are having a final meeting next week date TBD.  Season will open up on August 30th. We are planning for a special guest to throw out the first ball of season Nicky Lynch.  Nicky was a SI Padre baseball player on my son's team from 5 to 11 years old.  He came from a great family.  I recently found out that he had a brain tumor removed and was undergoing treatment.  I decided to participate in the NYC Brain Tumor Walk and with the help of Mikey Bagels we raised $250 from player in the league. the donation was listed as Robert Kelly Softball on the NYC Brain Tumor Walk website.  The site is still open for any donations.  Team Nicky http://www.braintumorcommunity.org/site/TR/TeamraiserEvents/NewYorkBrainTumorWalk?px=3523214&pg=personal&fr_id=2500

We will have 10 teams this year and there have been some defections so it should be an exciting year.  I will ask managers to send me a prelim roster to set up on website at phillybbop@yahoo.com  We named the division after Robert Columbia this year. 

We have the fields from August 23rd for anyone to play exhibition games.
