Message from the BBSA Board of Governors

Dear Bloomingdale residents and BBSA members,

On behalf of the BBSA board of directors we have combined forces with the Bloomingdale Parks Foundation and Bloomingdale Park District to undergo a complete rehab of Springfield Park, The project is called ‘Aim for the Fences’. We have already started the project and are now in the process of raising funds. We hope to start construction in the fall of 2010.

We will be holding a viewing and presentation on the “Aim for the Fences” project on July 31st, 2009 at the Oasis Pool (next to the JRC) from 7 to 9 PM.

The park district will have life guards on duty so we urge you to bring the whole family!

Please make plans on attending July 31st, 7 PM at the Oasis Pool! The showing of support for this project will have a major impact on the future of baseball, softball and the rehab of Springfield Park for years to come.

The Bloomingdale Parks Foundation will have a booth set up during Family Fest for a preview of the project on Thursday June 25th from 3 to 10 pm and Sunday June 28th from 1 to 8 pm. Please stop by and say hello!

If you want to make a difference in the future of Bloomingdale Baseball and Softball I ask you to step up and help in any way possible. If you are interested in volunteering please contact me directly. Each one of you can make a difference!

Thank you in advance and we look forward to seeing everyone July 31!

Quotes of the Week.
 
Sandy's fastball was so fast, some batters would start to swing as he was on his way to the mound.  ~Jim Murray, on Sandy Koufax


I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks in batting practice.  ~Casey Stengel, 1967


Baseball is an allegorical play about America, a poetic, complex, and subtle play of courage, fear, good luck, mistakes, patience about fate, and sober self-esteem.  ~Saul Steinberg

 
I see great things in baseball.  It's our game - the American game.  It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism.  Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set.  Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.  ~Walt Whitman
 
Baseball was made for kids, and grown-ups only screw it up.  ~Bob Lemon
 
I don't want to play golf.  When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.  ~Rogers Hornsby

 
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.  ~Jim Murray
 
During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times.  I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times.  You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season.  That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.  ~Mickey Mantle, 1970

 
Don't park in the spaces marked, "Reserved for Umpires."  ~John McSherry

 

 


My dad taught me to switch-hit.  He and my grandfather, who was left-handed, pitched to me everyday after school in the back yard.  I batted lefty against my dad and righty against my granddad.  ~Mickey Mantle

Little League is great because it keeps parents off the streets. –Yogi Berra

Life is like a baseball game. When you think a fastball is coming, You gotta be ready to hit the curve. -
--Jaja Q
