WALLY SURPRISE HIGHLIGHTS DAY OF FUN !!!
CHALLENGER DAY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. DESPITE THE HEAT, THE CHALLENGER ATHLETES WERE ENJOYING THE GAME AND FESTIVITIES. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY WAS A SURPRISE VISIT FROM WALLY THE GREEN MONSTER. WALLY POPPED IN DURING THE GAME AND GOT TO MEET WITH ALL THE FORTY ATHLETES WHO WERE THERE. THE GREAT VOLUNTEERS DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS WHILE DISPLAYING AN AMAZINGLY HIGH ENERGY EVEN UNDER THE TOUGH WEATHER CONDITIONS.
ON BEHALF OF THE MIT STAFF, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OUR SPONSORS, THE INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS, THE PARENTS, AND OF COURSE THE AMAZING CHALLENGER ATHLETES FOR MAKING "CHALLENGER DAY" A MOMENT WE WILL ALL REMEMBER FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

ALOHA SATURDAY-A HULA OF GOOD TIME !!!
ALOHA SATURDAY WAS AN AMAZING SUCCESS! THE FANS REALLY GOT BEHIND THE CONCEPT AND FUN WAS HAD BY ALL. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT AND THE FANS TURNED OUT IN THEIR BEST ALOHA WEAR. WE WERE SO IMPRESS WITH THE FANS EFFORTS. THE MELROSE "MAUI" ALL-STARS REALLY OUT DID THEMSELVES. THEY CAME WITH PROPS, BANNERS, AND EVEN PERFORMED A PREGAME SKIT THAT REALLY WOWED THE JUDGES. THEY CLEARLY WERE THE FANS OF THE DAY. THE HULA COMPETITION WAS INCREDIBLE, TOO. IT WAS A LONG DAY FOR ALL THE MANY VOLUNTEERS. THE VOLUNTEERS FROM MEDFORD NATIONAL LITTLE LEAGUE DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE ALL DAY. THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART OF THE HOURS THEY SPENT AT THE PARK IS THAT THEY DO IT WITH A SMILE ALL THE TIME. I WISH TO THANK THE STAFF OF THE MIT. OUR TEAM DIDN'T MISS A BEAT, WHICH IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE GIVEN ALL THE ACTION THAT WENT ON DURING THE ELEVEN HOURS OF BASEBALL WE PRODUCED YESTERDAY. FRANKLY, WE WERE EXHAUSTED.

JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT !!!
The Medford Invitational Tournament is dedicated to having fun while playing the game of baseball. Our membership is committed to putting a competitive tournament together, but never at the expense of good sportsmanship and fun. As you experience this two week event, please keep in mind that we are playing a game, which was meant to be a pleasant event. We have taken a lot of time over the winter months to make this a great experience for all the participants, whether they win or lose. You will see that all our volunteers are working hard to insure that all our kids are having a good time. Our goal is to demonstrate that great baseball can coexist on the diamond alongside of sportsmanship and fun. We ask for your support to achieve this goal.
So please leave all your worries and concerns outside the park and join us as we celebrate the way baseball was meant to be played and enjoyed.
Thank-you
Ron Giovino
Tournament Director

CHALLENGER DAY- SIMPLY AMAZING !!!
SUNDAY, THE MIT WELCOMED THE CHALLENGER DIVISION OF LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL TO COLUMBUS PARK. THE AFTERNOON WAS AS PERFECT AS THE 70 DEGREE WEATHER.
TWO TEAMS, ONE FROM WAKEFIELD AND THE OTHER FROM MALDEN WEST TOOK TO THE FIELD IN FRONT OF A PACK SOUTH MEDFORD STADIUM.
FROM THE MOMENT THE ATHLETES ARRIVED, THE PARK WAS FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT.
THESE YOUNG ATHLETES DEMONSTRATED THE KIND OF DRIVE AND DETERMINATION OF A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. THESE KIDS STRETCHED THE LIMITS OF THEIR ABILITIES WHILE HAVING FUN PLAYING THE GAME OF BASEBALL. THEY TAUGHT US ALL WHAT THIS SPORT IS ALL ABOUT.
THE CHALLENGER KIDS TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF ALL THE VOLUNTEERS AND EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE. IT TRULY WAS THE GREATEST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF THE MEDFORD INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
CHALLENGER WILL BECOME A PERMANENT PART OF THE MEDFORD INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY RULE
To Our Great Fans,
The use of flash photography during a game is strictly prohibited. You are welcome to take as many photos as you wish, but in the interest of safety, electronic flash may impare the vision of a player while a ball is in flight.
Violators of this policy will have their cameras taken from them. The camera will then be placed at home plate where a member of the MIT staff will rip the film or memory card from it and proceed to smash the camera into many tiny pieces.
We thank-you for your cooperation.
