| Any new info on when the lights will be fixed?
And on a related note the MSBL now has exclusive rights to use Sauget field, so we wont ever be playing there.

| The lights were vandalized and stripped of their wiring for copper.
And if you cant play under our lights or they are "low as shit" go play MSBL or softball.
I have played under those lights since 1994, have never lost a ball due to the lights.

| Shit I could play softball at the Cahokia facility on the softball field and have way better lights than the baseball field has. Nice operation.

| So...we gotta get that fixed then, eh? I know I could dig up one of the legendary forum conversations but if someone would be so kind to say againwhat's a ballpark figure to replace the whole lighting system so we could have serviceable lights at the park? $5? $20k? 100,000k?
Just wondering.

| Did anyone check JDs bag after the last game of the season? Might be some wire in there.

| Last word was that the church does not want to turn it into their insurance due to a claim already being made on the legion building.
The initial estimate is $5000-$6000

| We continue to have setbacks on lighting situation. The loaner boom lift was damaged friday afternoon prior to us being able to use it saturday. We are going to attempt to try again this saturday May 5. We have electric but have individual lights out. It has been necessary to cancel this weeks nite games. Hopefully, we will have nite games starting May 8.

| Yeah right pirate guy! I'd be willing to bet this was not a pirate that said this at all it was a wannabe Pirate.

| No night games until the 7 bulbs that are out are replaced. Trying to get a boom to reach lights. I lost out on the one I had for last weekend. Hopefully this weekend will work.

| I'm sure we have some one in the league crazy enough to climb them poles and change the bulbs. Personally I think Archie can do it without even breaking a sweet.

| It is more complicated than just changing bulbs. Thats why we have an electrician lined up to correct the problem. If the unamed source had access to a boom truck, why not come forward and help, rather than throw bombs. We could put it to good use. Another attempt will be made to correct situation saturday May 12th. I know we lost some dates but some were rained out anyway.

| THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND THE FIRST NITE GAME OF 2012 WAS TUESDAY NIGHT MAY 15TH.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS THE RESULT OF A COORDINATED TEAM EFFORT.
A SPECIAL THANKS GO OUT CHRIS SCHUMACHER AND MIKE NEELY FOR THE ELECTRICAL WORK. CHRIS WHITTINGTON WAS THE GROUND CAPTAIN AND ALSO TOOK A TURN IN THE BUCKET PLACING SECURING STRAPS AROUND THE HOMEPLATE LIGHT STANDARD. MARK LAMMEREAUX DID THE LEGWORK TO SECURE THE BOOM LIFT. DAN KELLY WAS ON HAND TO LEND A HAND WHERE NEEDED AND DO SOME EMERGENCY OUTFIELD MAINTAINENCE. LON THORNTON ALSO PROVIDED SOME VERY NECESSARY 4 WHEEL DRIVE ASSISTANCE.
IT A WAS TEAM EFFORT. THESE MEN GAVE THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE FOR A LARGER CAUSE AND FOR THAT I THANK THEM ALL.
