The Orphans and the HLWW High School Baseball Teams are co-sponsoring a hitting clinic on Saturday, March 20th from 10 am to 1pm at the Delano Field House. Mike Kingery, former professional player and long time hitting instructor will be running the clinic.
In preparation for this we have the Delano Fieldhouse rented every Sunday evening in March (7th,14th, 21st, 28th) from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. Orphans and past Orphans,
Please send photos of you or teammates both past and present. It would be great to update our pictures link and also add to players profiles. At some point, there will also be a link to past players, so pictures can be posted there as well. Send pictures to orphansbaseball@hotmail.com
Thanks
The Winter meeting and gathering was held at the Howard Lake Bowling Alley and Legion on January 30th. At the bowling alley, Steve Weber posted the highest score bowling over 200. Remy got the award for bringing the most and prettiest bowling balls. It was an easy decision since the rest of the team just used one ball that belonged to the bowling alley.
At the Legion, the competition continued with a talent show. The Orphans listened to the song, "Pants on the Ground" as well as observed dancing, juggling, imitations and some disjointed thumbs.
During the meeting we learned of the 2010 schedule, which has been posted to the left. We also learned everyone will be back for 2010 year, except Trent Zachman. Trent specialized in base running and playing many positions in the field. Trent is taking a job in another state in order to better his career. Trent will surely be missed and we expect him to stop by the ball park when he gets a chance to come home. We would like to say thanks to Trent for his commitment and dedication over the years. Good luck Trent and don't forget us.
The festivities ended with a delicious chicken and meatloaf supper and many beverages.
