Hard working moms for AGLL

Our beautiful AG moms, Alece Hon, Amber Gildehaus, and Carol Carlson (left to right), working hard to beautify our AGLL property.  Please come out and help if you can.  Weeds have overgrown a bit with the summer rains and in need of trimming. 

We also have several capital improvement projects, such as expanding the Minor dugouts, demo of the Rookie snackbar and reconstruction of the field shed, floor improvements to the Major batting cage, among others, we could use help with.  Please inquire with Dennis or Pete if you can help with time, talent, and/or material or cash donations.

Much thanks as always.

New Bat Standards Coming in 2018

"USA Baseball, the national governing body for the sport of baseball in the U.S., in conjunction with participating national member organizations announced today the decision to adopt a new method for measuring bat performance in the testing of youth bats. Informed by the research of leading scientists on the USA Baseball Bat Study Committee, and supported by its NMOs, -- including the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), Babe Ruth Baseball/Cal Ripken Baseball, Dixie Youth Baseball, Little League Baseball and PONY Baseball -- USA Baseball has concluded that recent advancements in science, engineering, technology, and the materials available to fabricate non-wood bats, now allow the manufacturers to construct youth bats that can perform at a wood-like level through the entire range of lengths and weights of youth bats."
