  1. Every aspect of our executive commitee is represented. Ex and present day competitive and non competitive players, umpires, and hitters. But not one pitcher is on the committee. Shouldn’t that position have a say???

  2. I cannot commit to playing full time as I have a business which is very busy so I would like my name added to whatever list to play as a pick up player this season. I can play in all leagues Monday Tuesday both Thursday leagues . Thanks Bob Viscardi 201-294-5967
