 Collecting Used Baseball Uniforms For Inner City Teams
by posted 05/14/2009
 
UPDATE on the B.U.D. Project (Baseball Uniform Donation Project)
Christian Mackay-Morgan and his family would like to thank everyone for their generous donations to the BUD Project (Baseball Uniform Donation Project). So far, Christian has collected over 60 shirts, 50 pants, 84 pairs of socks and 111 hats!!!  There is a very nice article about this project (and the collection of used baseball equipment) in this weeks, Valley Press. Secondary to the continued interest and donations via the bins at Vincents Sports Shop,  we will continue collecting used uniforms through the end of June. This would extend the time for those kids willing to donate this seasons uniforms.  Feel free to stop by Vincents Sports Shop to drop off used baseball shirts, pants, hats, and socks until the end of June.  Christian will provide an update on the website after the season ends regarding donation plans. Thanks again.
 

 



Christian Mackay-Morgan (a AAA baseball player) and his family are organizing an effort to collect used baseball uniforms to donate to inner-city children in CT who would otherwise not have the finances to afford these items. We are asking all families to look back at your growing supplies of team shirts, socks, hats, and pants and consider donating them. Any team, any league, any size is acceptable. We are hoping to have enough participation to collect full teams worth of uniforms to donate. Our family will be responsible for organizing all donations.  Any donations of uniforms can be brought to Vincents Sport Shop (776 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury) anytime after Monday, March 30.  Also Christian and his family will be at Vincents Sport Shop on Saturday, April 4 from 10:00am-1:00pm to personally take your kind donations. Come by that Saturday to say hello  and see how we are doing with this project. A big thank you goes to Vincents Sport Shop for assisting with this effort.  Even in an era of hard economic times, we can still find ways to give to others less fortunate than ourselves. What a good example it can be to our kids to find a way to share their favorite sport with other children. Plus a little spring cleaning to clear out all those piles of shirts, socks, hats, etc that we have collected over the years is a good thing.
 
If you are unable to drop items off at Vincents, please feel free to contact Christian or his parents (Linda and Tony Mackay-Morgan) via e-mail ( ) or our home phone (651-5372). We can work on other arrangements.  Thanks for your support.

 Important Bat Regulation Change For 2009
by SLL Board of Directors posted 10/18/2008
 
Attention SLL Parents:

Please take a moment to read the following message from Little League National regarding new bat rules.   These new more restrictive rules will take effect for the 2009 Spring season and beyond.   Bat's not meeting these stricter requirements will not be allowed in practice or play.  Areas in YELLOW impact Simsbury Little League players.


Oct. 16, 2008
 
Dear District Administrators and Local Little League Officials,
 
We have received a number of inquiries regarding last week's announcement regarding non-wood bats. Here are some additional details.

Statement Regarding Bats in Junior League Baseball 

Beginning with the 2009 season, baseball bats with a         diameter of 2-5/8 (two-and-five-eighths) inches are now the standard for all teenage baseball divisions (Junior, Senior and Big League).
 
Baseball bats with a diameter of 2-3/4 (two-and-three-fourths) inches are no longer permitted for use in the Junior League Division of Baseball. Previously, these bats could be used in Juniors, but not in Senior or Big League. 
 
Background
 
A committee at USA Baseball is in the process of developing a standard for bats used in the Junior League Division. Currently, there is no standard in place as ther e is for bats in Little League Baseball (Majors) and below, and for bats used in Senior League and Big League.
 
(USA Baseball is the governing body for amateur baseball in the U.S. Little League Baseball is a member of USA Baseball.)
 
This step taken by Little League, and to be taken by other youth baseball organizations in the coming year or two, is a first step in that process and a way to prepare for the new standard. Eventually, for the Junior League age group, only bats with a diameter of 2-5/8 (two-and-five-eighths) inches will be manufactured to meet the new standard when it is ready for implementation.
 
(Note: The standard for bats in the Little League Baseball [Majors] Division and below is the Bat Performance Factor [BPF]. This is a measure of a non-wood bat's performance relative to wooden bats.)
 
In the Senior and Big League Divisions, the standard is the Ball Exit Speed Ratio (BESR), with its "minus-3" requirement. The overall weight (in ounces) of a bat can be no more than three ounces below the overall length (in inches) of the bat. This mandate remains in effect in Senior and Big League Baseball divisions, but is not a requirement in Junior Baseball.

Additional Information for Little League Baseball (Majors) and Below

In effect for the 2009 season is the requirement that all non-wood bats used in Little League Baseball (Majors) Divisions and below shall be printed with a BPF of 1.15 or less.
 
This stipulation has been included in the Official Rules and Regulations for the past few years, leading up to 2009, so that leagues, parents, and bat manufacturers could prepare for it.
 
Most non-wood bats manufactured over the past several years for the age groups involved in Little League Baseball (Majors) and below have been permanently imprinted with the BPF. In fact, very few bats sold today with a diameter of 2-1/4 (two and one-quarter) inches are not printed with the BPF rating.
 
So, starting with the 2009 season, bats printed with a BPF higher than 1.15, or without a BPF printed (or not legible) on the bat, are not permitted in these divisions. 

 

Sincerely,
