We have 3-4 weeks of rain out makeups, James is having ankle surgery tomorrow and will be out for the rest of the year and teams are saying they're having problems getting guys as it is. I've talked to all managers already.

Good year guys and hope to see you in March for the Spring Draft League.

Is it possible to finish the rest of the co-ed games on a Saturday afternoon and wrap up the season?

I would go for a Saturday Morning/Afternoon all day wrap-up tournament. Good Idea.

If someone wants to get a tournament together for a Saturday afternoon I can give you the numbers to the Co-Ed managers.

Give me a call or send me an email and I can give you the numbers. I can have the fields ready for that day. But someone will have to organize it, I'm too busy now and am done for the year. But I'll help where I can.

Kevin,
I'm sorry you feel this way. #1 we have at least 3 weeks of makeups which would put us to the week before Thanksgiving IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE RAINOUTS. #2, the weather this week is going to be getting down into the mid to low 30's. #3, we do not have any umpires. James had ankle surgery on Friday and is done for the rest of the year. I was unable to find umpires that didn't already have other high school events and other plans to umpire.

As I told all of the managers, we'll be returning money for the games that weren't played.

Hopefully everyone can understand the decision.

Wow, apparently I have missed a lot this fall. I was supposed to be running the co-ed fall league, but with recently having a baby I was pretty much unavailable. Some of you do not seem to understand how much time and effort Dan has put in this league starting last fall until now. Each of you go home at night and look at a schedule or website to see if you play. Schedules and websites don't post themselves. Electric bills, scorekeepers, umpire availability, fields being prepared, monitoring the weather. This is just the begining of what Dan does weekly. We all owe Dan a great bit of gratitude for even having a league this year. Dan thank you very much, and it was a great first year for the new and improved league.
