Hey everyone, itโs been a little while since Iโve been on here, so I wanted to share an update!
Last year, I worked pretty hard to create a league with a plan to play from spring to fall. I even had quite a bit of interest and a few promises from people that fell through. So, for now, I had decided to take a break for a little while and even had some other things I needed to take care of come up.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT JUST WONT HAPPEN!
I am currently working on some other projects in my life, but, below you will find a list of what needs to happen for me to be able to start a league.
1. I need players. At least 18 guys (2 teams) who are 18 and older in age are NEEDED. This is not a limit, in fact, the more the better.
2. I can keep fees lower if at least some of the guys are willing to help put some work into the league. Things that are seriously needed (especially if we use the field I tried to set up last year) will be dirt work, chalk/paint for foul lines and batter boxes, and sometimes even mowing. Maybe even umpiring other teamsโ games.
3. Donations would be greatly appreciated. Dirt rakes, bases, mound rubber, a new home plate, equipment: such as baseball gloves, baseball bats, helmets, etc would be great. So if you know of a team or field getting rid of any of this equipment and it is still in useable condition, please get them in contact with this page. Even monetary donations can be accepted via cashapp (please message me for the cash tag) or get with me for cash or checks. I can also set up a couple of different fundraiser opportunities and volunteers for these opportunities would be extremely appreciated. Any sort of money would go back into the league.
These are the three MAIN things that need to happen. My goal is to eventually bring some form of recreation and entertainment baseball to Southern Oklahoma. I want to provide a family friendly atmosphere where adults can play the game they grew up loving as kids, kids can watch their dads go be awesome on the baseball diamond, and players and spectators can share fun and interesting interactions.
