2012 News & Notes
The 2012 season will mark Cooper Cleaning's 12th year of participation in the Baltimore Baseball League (BBL), which is one of the top men's unlimited leagues in Maryland. After a tough 2011 season, the Cooper squad will look to rebound with a roster makeover, marked by the addition of several talented players from the Baltimore area.
Cooper will play in the Reno Powell Memorial Day Tourney in Hagerstown, MD for the 7th consecutive year. Additionally, we will play in the Rawlings Berkshire Showdown in Reading, PA for the 9th consecutive year.
