Rookie League Completes Successful Season
As "Celebration" blared from the Dierickx Field speakers, the Gladstone Junior Baseball Association Rookie League finished their 2009 season with their annual Round Robin Tournament. After completing their games, each participant was awarded a participation medal for completing the year. Many thanks go out to the Coaches, Assistant Coaches, parents and fans who helped make this one of our most successful years. A special thanks go to Midget Coaches, Brandon Gray, for coordinating the concession stand for the day and to Casey Dean, for handling the awards ceremony. We wish all the Rookie Participants a safe and enjoyable summer and we hope to see you next year!
Fundraiser Weekend
Gladstone Junior Baseball would like to thank all who participated in this years Fundraiser Weekend!!! Rookies, Midgets and Juniors had the opportunity to participate in the Batathon on Saturday April 18th and once all the distances are calculated and donations collected there will be some great prizes awarded. On Sunday the annual Bottle Drive took place under beautiful blue skys and once again the trailer was overflowing with bottles and cans. After most of the hard work was completed all were treated to BBQ'd hamburgers and hot dogs. Thanks again to all the great volunteers and kids for your efforts on another very successful year of fundraising!
Sportsmanship!!!
Parade Magazine Article

If we as an association take extra efforts in regards to being good sports it will make for a much more enjoyable experience for all involved.
