Message from the Board

As we move into 2019, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. It will not be long before we are back on the fields in Barberton with the sun in our eyes, hitting out of the craters in the batters box and thinking all the umpires are blind when they make a call.

The annual meeting will take place on Sunday, February 17, 2019, 1:00PM, Acme Manchester Rd. Hope to see you there.

As of February 16th, we have received 271 registrations, by Divisions, Red 28, White 54, Silver 51, Gold 64, Blue 74. We will continue to send out reminders every couple of weeks. Remember, registrations close on February 20th.

The Board formed a Rules Committee to review recommendations received from you the players. The recommended rule changes will be presented to the Board for review and approval at its February Board Meeting. I would like to thank the rules committee members for their time and effort. If you would like to read up on the Silver League Rules it is posted on our website. Go to forms, click on handouts, and click on the Silver League Rules and take some time to review and read our rules. Umpires are always looking for help in making informed calls from players who always think the Ump is 50% wrong and blind.

Randy Ballard, President

DICK KAPPER - BLUE DIVISION

NOTE: This year your last name will be on your jersey "at no cost to you" unless you stipulate on your registration form that you DO NOT want it on there. Please make sure you mark the appropriate choice on the form.

RAIN OUT ALERTS

F.Y.I. - For 2019 I am revising the way alerts are sent out. Anyone who has signed up for the rain out alerts will need to go into your account and specify in which division you wish to receive your alerts (i.e. Blue, Gold, Silver, Red, or White). This will eliminate players from getting alerts that do not pertain to their division. For players that have signed up for the rain out alerts - the BLUE, GOLD alerts are scheduled for 8:30 - the SILVER, RED, WHITE alerts are scheduled for 4:30. If you have not received your alert, at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time, you should assume your game(s) are still on and report to the fields. At that point the games are in the hands of the Umpires.

If you originally signed up for AM or PM alerts please switch to your division alerts. The AM and PM alerts are eventually being eliminated.

If you haven't signed up for these alerts you can do so at any time. This just may save you an unnecessary drive to the fields on a rainy day.

Note: Several players have been having issues with signing up for these alerts. If you are still having these issues or are a new player attempting to sign up please email me your name and I will try too work through this process with you. I will need your email address, cell phone number, zip code, and phone carrier. Once I have those you will be sent a code from the site which you will need to send me in order to complete the process. If you do not receive a code I will notify the site support and try to get this resolved.

Thank you...Roger
