ONLINE Registration for Fall Baseball Now Open

Greetings Coaches, Coordinators, Parents and Players.

We hope you are all enjoying the last few weeks (days) of summer. The upcoming new school year brings with it books, buses, backpacks and Fall Baseball. We are trying to put together a fall baseball program for the kids. This program has been very popular in the past and is a bit more laid back than Spring and Summer ball. The program is really focused on fun and development. We need a firm indication of the level of interest for the age groups listed below. Right now we would like to offer the following leagues - given sufficient interest.

• 7-8 yr olds - continue to build skills
• 9-11 yr olds - continue to build skills
• 12-13 yr olds - play at Beechwood to prepare for next year

The season would start the weekend of September 13th and run through October 25th. Games would be limited to weekends - right now it looks like Saturday afternoons - and we will work hard to minimize any conflicts with soccer, football and lacrosse. We have had some interest from other towns to join the Fall program at different age levels, but want to see what kind of in-town interest we have before opening it up to other groups. It is very important that we get an accurate headcount as soon as possible.

ONLINE registration is now open for the programs listed above. If you are interested in playing, please go online a register now. Simply click on the ONLINE Registration link on the menu bar.

We would like a firm number of participants by no later than September 8th.If for some reason we do not get enough players to offer all the programs above, you will be notified and your registration fee will be refunded.

Jay Blackington (Fall Ball Coordinator email>> Blackington_Jay@emc.com) will be coordinating this league on behalf of the CYBSA. Any questions regarding eligibility, schedules and teams should be directed to Jay via email.

The cost for the season would be $100 per player and uniforms will be provided. ONLINE registration is active. Please note that there is a specific link for retuning CYBSA players. If you registered using the ONLINE service this past spring, please use the returning player link.

Cardinals Win 2008 Major League Championship

The Cardinals won the 2008 Major League championship by defeating the Pirates in a tight 3 game series. They took the third and deciding game 13-11 on June 25th, with Tim Cavanaro being the hero, belting a three-run first inning home run to give the Cardinals a lead they would not relinquish and coming on to the mound in the sixth inning to close out a furious and gutsy Pirate comeback. Get all the details of the final series, and the entire Cardinal run by clicking here (and enjoy the prose of the CYBSA's Ring Lardner).

Congratulations, Cardinals!
