Season Closes to an End with 13 Playoff Champs to be Crowned

Sunday Update: Thanks to all who pitched in today to help get the games in. And thanks to all the players and parents for hanging in with us on what was probably the craziest day we ever seen (to close out the rainiest season we have ever had).  It was not only great to see some great baseball out there (in the 8 of 11 games we were able to get in), but also really iimpresive to see how flexible and patient everyone was as we fought threw an afternoon of rain, sirens and occasional sun.  See the revised schedule below.

Join us for a few more days of NYO Baseball as we head into the weekend and early next week and get ready for some great championship baseball.  See the Cricle of Champions attachment which we will update throughout this last week as the season draws to a close.  We've highlighted our regular season champs and will update for playoff champs and runners up as well as our PCA winners for each league.

NYO Baseball Suzanne Caswell Volunteer of the Year Award Presented to Jay Smith 

A few words about our recipient this year (which I undertake with great trepidation in light of the literary skills of our honoree).  Most of you who know me well know that the baseball is just a small part of what the NYO experience is all about. For me, as well as many of you, what draws you back year after year is that feeling you get the first time you walk out here for tryouts at the beginning of the year, or that burst you feel on opening day and that desire to stay at the ball park all day if you could. That feeling on a warm night at St. John’s when it’s so quiet you can practically hear the ball spinning as it reaches the plate, or that joyful feeling when you’re watching a Small Ball game with first timers tackling each other as they try to field a ball. Or watching a bunch of 8 year olds cutting deals at the concession stand with their drink tickets or a visit with Miss Jane in the Dowis Building. Or all too many times this year, huddling in a pavilion with 100 of your new closest friends and watching the rain flood our fields.  All of these are feelings that are about impossible to put into words  but all memories that are so thick for so many of us.
