Thanks to all of the players that came out and played in the Memorial Tournament. The Board appreciates everyone’s support of the tournament honoring league players and spouses that have passed away.

 

Bob Morrison, League President, started the event at 6:15 p.m. Bob read the names of the players who have passed away in the last 5 years. Rick Rhodes read the names of the spouses who have passed away who had loved ones present. The league recognized the players/spouses present with a gift card. Rick read the Softball Player prayer.

 

Special Memorial Tournament Brochure – Stephanie Babbitt, wife of Earl Babbitt who passed away in 2013, created a brochure with the names and pictures of all past players.  She did a lot of research and found pictures of several players that had passed away several years ago.  Great Job Stephanie.

 

Play started at 7:00 p.m. and finished up at 10:30 p.m. Every team got to play at least 3 games. The weather was great - a little warm but the wind was blowing. And we had family and friends out cheering for their favorite players.

 

Pizza and drinks were provided by Fred Brett, Bibi’s Italian Restaurant, for a nominal fee.  The pizza was a great addition this year.
