Important administrative note: THE WEBSITE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL SO DON'T TRUST IT!!!!!

Here's what's really happening...

"LIVE" Baseball this Sunday November 29th at Raimondi Field !!! (Specific Directions Below)

"LIVE" means standard MLB rules, including called balls & strikes, steals, leadoffs, etc. This will be a "challenge" game where an outside team will be present to play people in our "league". This means you will want to be prompt because there are fewer spots available (only 1 team to fill, not 2).

All are welcome. Possible double-header.

Warm-up at 10:30, Game at 11:00. Potential Game 2 around 2:30.

Be prompt to make sure you get a spot on one of the teams. We can only accommodate the first 12 people. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.
DO NOT use the website to check for playing conditions on Sunday morning. (Website is not functioning.)
DO call the Field Status Hotline Sunday morning (around 9:30) to determine playing conditions and field status.
