40 and 1 Youth Baseball

2008 40&1 Youth Baseball -- A Successful Season in Review!

mbridge1@rochester.rr.com (Michael Bridgeman) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 06:45:14 GMT

What started out as a cold and rainy beginning of the 2008 season ended with a hot and sticky 40&1 Awards Picnic (thanks to the whipped cream battle).

To our players: We hope you had a memorable time at the fields this year. You accomplished so much. You won some games and lost some games. You made new friends and learned new skills. You learned what it takes to make a team work together. These things will carry over from the baseball fields to your everyday life. And most of all you had fun! We could see it in all of your faces as you came up to the field house to devour sunflower seeds washed down with gallons of Gatorade.

To families and friends: You drove your players to the fields night and day. You sat through the bone-chilling cold and steamy weather. You cheered your players on, wiped their tears after injuries, made sure they were fed and had plenty of liquids. You washed uniforms that were impossibly stained. You changed your schedules to be at the fields. You gave hugs and encouragement when needed. And for all of that and more, your players--children, grandchildren, friends appreciate you more than you know.

To everyone -- from the players and families to the coaches, umps, board members and all who volunteered countless hours, sweat and hard work -- a sincere thank you for pitching in to help make our 56th year a rounding success.

June 2008 News & Updates

tiffbridgeman@yahoo.com (Tiffany Bridgeman) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:14:15 GMT

It's mid-June and the 40 & 1 baseball season is winding down. We have a few games left and then it's on to Playoffs, the World Series Games and the End-of-the-Season Picnic and Awards Ceremony (July 12th--save the date!).

It's been exciting to walk around the fields and observe our players learning new skills, making exciting plays, winning or losing games -- all while having smiles on their faces. They definately are having fun and that's what it's all about up at the 40 & 1 fields.

Now that we've become "seasoned" parents, coaches, managers, score-keepers, players, etc., the 40 & 1 board would like to share some information about our league, how it's run and what it takes to enable our players to have positive experiences at the fields.

Read the full story for the link to the JUNE 2008 NEWSLETTER. There you'll find answers to questions that you might have as well as information on the July 12th Festivities.
