2009 Vance Bolen Award Winner: Andrew Capodanno
Congratulations to Andrew for winning the Bolen Award, named after a former player in the BLL whose life was tragically cut short from cancer. This award is given annually to the 12-year-old who exhibits the most outstanding sportsmanship.
2009 President's Award Winner: Mike Johnson
Congratulations and thanks to Mike Johnson for his leadership in renovating the Junior/Senior Field at Dyer and the many hours he devoted to maintaining the field during the season. This award also recognizes his continued and tireless service as an umpire for all District 2 leagues in Delaware.
2008 Michael Acker Award Winner: Benjamin Goodman
Congratulations to Benjamin for winning the Acker Award, given annually to the 15 or 16-year-old who exhibits the most outstanding sportsmanship in the Senior Division. Our 2009 Winner will be announced during Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 season.
With Sympathy
Brandywine Little League extends its deepest condolences to the Pierce family and Naamans Little League. Brett, Allison and Jimmy Pierce were tragically killed on October 3 in an automobile accident while driving to Sports at the Beach, where Jimmy, age 12, was to compete on a team comprised of players representing both Brandywine Little League and Naamans Little League.
Our league is exploring ways to support Jimmy's sister, Megan Pierce, in honor of her brother, who clearly loved baseball, and her parents, who by all accounts represented the very best of Little League parents.
Fall Baseball Underway
For Older Players
Brandywine Little League is partnering with Naamans Little League and Wilmington Little League to field two teams that will compete over a six week season against 10 teams representing Suburban, Midway, Capitol, New Castle, Newark National and Newark American. This is the first time BLL has participated in inter-league fall play at the Junior/Senior level in many years. Rosters are now closed for this program.
For Younger Players
Brandywine Little League and Naamans Little League are partnering to provide a Fall Baseball program to be played on Friday evenings through Friday October 23, 2009 with practices scheduled at the discretion of the coaches. Teams were created for Double A (8 & 9), Triple A (10 & 11) and Majors (Returning and 12). Registration is now closed for this program.
Spirit of Baseball
Take a look at this Video Clip and you, too, will be inspired by the story of a young baseball player with one leg who demonstrates the "character, courage and loyalty" mantra that we as a league promote and we all, as coaches, parents, umpires and players, should strive for.
This second clip shows the story of softball teammates who carried an opponent around the bases after she hit her first career home run then tore her ACL going around first base. See this clip for the full report.
