Business:

Ø
Monday Field Usage-The travel team will not be using
our field for games on Monday. Monday
afternoon is now available for practice.
Ø New bats-New
bats have been available for practices this week. Once the season starts they will not be
available until the second half of the season when 10 new bats will be
introduced and the 10 used new bats from the first half can be used for
practices.
Ø Batting cage special-update-Dan announced that the batting cage owner has offered
1-free hour to each of our 12-teams. It
will be necessary for each team to arrange to have most, if not all of the team
available for this free offer.
Ø Dead ball out rule-Teams will not be charged an out if a base coach crosses the field after
the pitcher is ready to pitch, however, please have your coach in place early
or have them arrive at their base via the back of the backstop.
Committee and Director Updates:
Ø
Financial Update- Norm Smith-as of this point in time
there are still 30 potential players that have not paid their fees.

Player Personnel-Fred Schmidt-141 players have
registered. A revised practice schedule
will be posted on our web.
Ø
Field Maintenance- Lyman Rinehart-there are still a couple of spots in the outfield that are thin,
but he is working on that. Please place
the practice screen beyond those spots so as not to damage them further. 6-teams have given names of volunteers for
field maintenance. Gravel will be spread
on the parking lot tomorrow.
Ø
Events Coordinator-
New Business:
Ø
Opening day ceremonies-shown under events coordinator
Ø Veteran’s Day participation-we will have a decorated cart and men will carry a new

at least 1-player from each team in uniform to walk alongside the cart. Dan is going to send an email to each
manager.
Ø Parking area upgrade-covered above under field maintenance.
Ø Goodyear ballpark-Managers are asked to get their lineups along with player numbers and
possibly a bio to Mark and Dan. We play
there on Nov. 2nd.
Ø
Questions/Answers (time allowing)-It was explained that we will have
2-season halves with a winner of each.
There will also be a tournament at the end of each half involving all 12
teams. If a different team wins each
tournament there will be a playoff to determine the overall winner.
With no further business, it was moved and seconded that
this meeting be
adjourned. This meeting was adjourned at 4:50
PM. The next meeting will be on
November 21st at 4:00 PM in the Milano
