2019 WPB CONCLUSION OF EVENTS!
- We have had an eventful baseball week, and weekend, but most importantly, we hope all of you have enjoyed your Mother’s Day with your families!
For 2019, we have had another great turn out of players - 630! We had a few rainy days, including our scheduled Open Day, but we managed to get all our games in. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and flexibility with our reschedules.
We also took a giant leap into the future with GameChanger scoring. We can’t thank our scorekeepers enough! We had a wonderful group of people step up and help us with this challenge. Kudos to our volunteers! When we include 3-4 coaches per team, 1-3 Team Parents and 2-3 Scorekeepers – plus, 10 Board Directors, 5 of whom no longer have players in our league, we truly do have a dedicated group of volunteers! This is an incredible accomplishment every year! These volunteer numbers push us to well over 400 this season - AND, I will say, parent participation like this is what separates us from other leagues. We also want to thank all of our Team Sponsors for their kindness! A list of sponsors will be posted soon.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
One last thing... This season we added "LIVE STREAMING AT YORK FIELD!" We hope everyone got to see their players play. We heard many positive stories of families watching games from far away places. This was a great feature this season! We'll always attempt to deliver the best baseball experience possible.
2019 WPB In-House Season ending Tournament and Closing Ceremonies info below:
On Saturday, we had the conclusion of our Mustang & Bronco Championships! We heard great reports, from all divisions, that we had many competitive tournament games and there were more than a few one run games. Some Shetland teams played extra innings to break ties- Some teams played for 2-1/2 hrs!
Our Pony Division had two dramatic one run games on Saturday. We saw some great pitching, defense, hitting & coaching. We were all very impressed with our future high school players.
It was also great to see all of our competitors play in front of the largest *crowds of the season! Thank you to everyone who invited their extended family & friends to witness the excitement! We watched our players play hard and stay focused on their games. - Every year we see the excitement of playoff pressure get to parents & coaches, much before players feel it. Again, we were proud of our players and coaches by the way they competed and by their conduct. We love your support, but please keep all youth games in perspective. This is the time for our players to experience the great game of baseball and create memories of a lifetime. We want these memories to be positive ones!
Thank you!
