Welcome to the home of the Long Island Astros 12U Migs
ASTROS WITH TWO SUCCESSFUL SEASONS UNDER THEIR BELT AS THEY TURN 12U FOR THE 2010 SEASON!!
The Long Island Astros Proud To Present 12U Migs Squad
MIGS ASTROS HAVE NOW COMPLETED TWO FULL YEARS TOGETHER WITH AN OVERALL 39-29-1 RECORD IN LSW, NJBL AND VARIOUS TOURNAMENTS. THEY ARE COMPRISED OF BOYS FROM SEAFORD, CARLE PLACE, AND OCEANSIDE. THEY ARE COACHED BY JOE MIGLIORE, ROB JORDAN, JOE LOCURTO, AND TERRY TWIBELL.
THEY SHARE A PASSION FOR BASEBALL. IN THOSE TWO YEARS, THEY HAVE PROVIDED COUNTLESS MEMORIES. WHO COULD EVER FORGET........................
KYLE O'DONNELL'S BIG BAT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS INCLUDING HIS DRAMATIC OVER THE FENCE GAME TYING HOME RUN THAT CATAPULTED THE ASTROS OVER OZONE PARK 10-8 AFTER TRAILING 8-3 IN THE EAST MEADOW TOURNAMENT. KYLE OD IS PERHAPS THE BIGGEST THREAT IN THE ASTROS LINEUP.
THAT SAME GAME SAW PAUL TWIBELL'S FIVE INNING SHUTOUT RELIEF EFFORT KEEP OZONE PARK AT BAY WHILE THE ASTROS MADE THEIR COMEBACK. TWIBELL HAS PRODUCED COUNTLESS PITCHING EFFORTS DURING THOSE YEARS WETHER AS A STARTER OR RELIEVER.
JOHN LOCURTO'S TWO GAME WINNING HITS IN HIS LEGENDARY MASSAPEQUA TOURNAMENT THAT TOOK THE ASTROS TO THE FINALS. HIS SLICK SHORTSTOP PLAY HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS BOOST TO THE ASTROS DEFENSE.
GERARD CONWAY'S PENCHANT FOR CLUTCH HITS INCLUDING GAME WINNING HOMER RUNS AGAINST ROCKVILLE CENTRE AND MASSAPEQUA. GERALD ALSO HAS POSSESSED OUTSTANDING POWER AND SPEED.
DEAN MIGLIORE'S 13-13 SUMMER TORRID PACE IN THE SUMMER OF 2008. HIS BIG BAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LINEUP AND ANCHOR AT THIRD BASE HAS BEEN A GODSEND FOR THE ASTROS.
MIKE SCULLY'S NO HITTER AGAINST LEVITTOWN NORTH AND ONE HITTER AGAINST GARDEN CITY. SCULLY'S RISE AS THE ACE OF THE PITCHING STAFF ALWAYS MAKES THE ASTROS COMPETITIVE AGAINST ANY COMPETITION.
LUCAS HALL'S TALENT IN CENTERFIELD AND EXTRA BASE HITS ALWAYS MAKES THE ASTROS LINEUP FORMIDABLE. HIS PERSONALITY ALWAYS KEEPS THE ASTROS DUGOUT LOOSE.
NICK JORDAN BEHIND THE PLATE INVOLVED IN MORE GAME TURNING PLAYS AT THE PLATE THAN EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. HIS ABILITY TO GET ON BASE AND SPARK THE TEAM HAS ALWAYS MADE THE ASTROS GO.
MIKE PEREZ MAKING COUNTLESS PLAYS AT SECOND BASE.
LUCAS GOLON QUIETLY SOCKING THE BALL WITH POWER.
KEVIN OTTEN'S POWER ARM ON THE MOUND. WHO CAN FORGET THE SOUND OF THE BASEBALL HISSING AS IT ROCKETS TOWARDS THE PLATE. THE ASTROS OPENING GAME EVER AGAINST HICKSVILLE SAW KEVIN STRIKE OUT 10 BATTERS IN FOUR INNINGS.
He picks up the bat,
and walks to the plate,
"gotta hit and that's that.
"The crowd starts to yell,
the game's on the line,
last inning, two outs,
the score's nine to nine.
Dad yells, "Go get it,"
Mom wrings her hands,
coach hollers, "hit it,"
but alone there he stands.
Heros are made
in seconds such as this,
but he's just a little boy,
what if he should miss?
Years after this game's ended
and he's little no more,
will he remember the outcome
or even the score?
No he'll have forgotten
if he was out, hit, or a run,
he'll only look back on
his friends and the fun.
So cheer this boy on,
alone with his fate;
help him remember with fondness
this stand at the plate.
Spend your time wisely
and help in his quest
to be a hitter
with confidence
and always his best.
And when the game's over,
this boy can stand tall,
for you've helped him prepare
to give it his all!
