Yankees Win
As
a wholly volunteer organization, the Northeast Baseball and Softball Association continues to grow and is striving
to become a champion. Both in our league size and tournament experience we are making progress towards our goal of
being a unified entity in significant size and scope to address the issue of new complex development. Again we
are honored to have hosted the 13 under NBC "Hap" Dumont Youth Baseball State Tournament and pleased
to present the 2009 Champion Westurban Yankees.
FIELD LOCATION AND GENERAL CONDITIONS
South Lakes Park might perhaps be the closest candidate in the City of Wichita that qualifies as a modern regional facility. Though
designed for softball use it has been found that certain age groups can adequately play baseball. 13 year olds put that
to the test. Though the infield dirt is just large enough to accomodate the basepaths the outfield fences provide distances
that are legitimate. The elevated seating, shaded areas, playgrounds, concessions, and restrooms are also more amenable for
everyone else involved.
GATE FEES
A $200 pre-paid team gate fee will be required. Checks can be made payable to Northeast Baseball and
Softball Association and presented at team check-in. Parents, grandparents, siblings, and all visitors are allowed
full and unrestricted entry.
UMPIRES
Northeast Baseball and Softball
Association umpires will be handling the officiating under the supervision of Robert Sinks. Don't be surprised
to see three or four man crews even in the early rounds.
STAFF
If experiences from 2008 taught us anything it was that
large numbers of volunteers and staff members are necessary to host. With daily rain the previous year,
the actions of parents, players, and coaches assisting when necessary made much of the slightly delayed schedule possible. Also
the participation of many visiting college athletes kept the scorekeeping and game announcing duties exciting.
AWARDS
Another pleasant surprise of 2008 was that the hardware
handed out was well liked. Many of the teams making the advanced circuit had become accustomed to minimal trophies or
none at all when competing at the higher levels.
T-SHIRTS
Commemorative t-shirts will
be available. The best prices on shirts for players, parents, and coaches will be attained by purchasing as a group.
Team names and or logos will be incorporated into the design as best as possible to make a cherished momento.
PARKING
Please enter the park from S. Meridian. Access from 47th St. through the soccer complex is not
possible. If there is a drawback to the complex it is the distance from the parking lot to the grandstands. Please
take this fact into consideration.
