Hello baseball fans! While the Yankees and Phillies are battling each other for a World Championship we have been busy putting our own ballpark to rest for yet another long Michigan winter. With the help of last year’s Service Award winner Mike Walukonis, we have continued to work hard at improving the infield surface. Hopefully, the aeration, fertilization, frequent mowing, and seeding that has taken place will pay big dividends next spring.
I am excited to tell you that work on the concession stand/restroom faciltity is progressing nicely. While we will be sharing this facility with the tennis program it will add much to that area of our campus and of course the concession stand will serve as an important source of revenue for our program. In addition to that new construction, we will be moving our backstop approximately 11′ closer to homeplate and placing cement behind the home plate screen. This will be in preparation for what I hope will be a new bleacher system placed behind home plate sometime in our future. There will be more news forthcoming on that particular project.
Enjoy the World Series – only 151 more days until the Sailors open at home v. the Montague Wildcats.
