Fellow Players,
Hope everyone has stayed warm the past week. We need to get back playing
the game we love. Thursday should be game time for us!
Our Annual Valentines Day Luncheon is scheduled for Thursday, February 12,
following our Thursday game. Price is $5 for players and $10 for your guest. We
need your payment NLT Thursday, February 12. Managers will be asking you whether you
are attending and for your payment. It should be alot of fun!
Our next DRAFT is scheduled for Tuesday, February 17. Our goal is to have 8 teams. Your manger will
be asking you whether you are IN or OUT. Again, we want have 8 teams!
It is time to pay our annual dues. Dues are $40. Pay your manager; we want to complete collecting
dues NLT February 17. Players 80 in 2026 and over are NOT required to pay dues, however donations
are welcome. This is a great deal to ONLY pay $40 to pay to play a game we love.
We are working on how we want to play the last day of the season, February 17. One of the ideas is to
have each manager provide two players from their team which will make up a team to play the D'Backs
on the final day of season. Yes, this team will have two "D players." The rest of us will play pickup games unless
you want to watch the D'Backs game. Your thoughts on the above thought.
Remember our league is a recreation league! Have fun but there is no need to fall on your sword on whether
someone is out or safe, foul ball or fair ball, strike or not, etc.
Finally, we have several players who are hurting or recovering from an injury who need our prayers. Some of those are:
(apologize if I left someone out)
Donnie Williams - recovering from a shoulder replacement
George Isea - recovering from an appendix infection
John Hayes - recovering from falling off a ladder; no broken bones
Ralph Larue - injured hand
Rich Columbo - back
Frank Carillo - recovering from a procedure
Gerry Haniak - arm/shoulder
Mike Kruk - recovering from a back injury
Billy Helms - recovering from a heart procedure (pacemaker)
Mitch Peterson - respiratory
Jim Magionne - preparing for a knee replacement
Ron Buggs - respiratory/heart issues
Finally, appreciate your support as we have the best league in the state!!
