2008
WMLL Nights at the Ballpark
This
season, we again have two special nights reserved for taking in some great baseball in the
area.
First is Friday, June 6, which is WMLL Night at the
Mallards. Take the whole team out to the Duck Pond
at Warner Park to see some "baseball the way it oughta be!" Tickets are
available through the concession stand or from Mark Newburg (newy@tds.net)
for $6.00. The Mallards donate half the price back to WMLL, so this is a great fund
raiser for your league.
Next is Tuesday, June 17, for Little League Night at the
Brewers. Join over 8,000 other Southern
Wisconsin Little Leaguers and families at Miller Park to watch our Brew Crew knock off the
Toronto Blue Jays.
WMLL Players and Coaches get to parade on the field at Miller Park if they wear
their team jerseys to the game! WMLL always has one of the largest groups in
attendance, so let's keep the tradition going in 2008. Details for ordering have
been sent out to your Team Rep. Order early as only a limited number of tickets are
available. Ticket prices are discounted for WMLL compliments of the Brewers.

Board
Member Mark Newburg
Honored by YMCA
WMLL Board
member and Pacific Lg coordinator, Mark Newburg, was honored May 15 as the Volunteer of
the Year for the West YMCA. Mark has been a volunteer coach for basketball for over
8 years and has coordinated the Memorial Tri-County Community basketball program for 4
years. Congrats Mark!!!

Recently, a parent
reported that she almost hit a player who darted out from between cars parked along
Forward Drive. Fortunately, she was driving very slowly and cautiously just for this
reason. Parents need to remind their players to be VERY careful when crossing
Forward Drive and all parents need to REALLY SLOW DOWN when approaching the WMLL fields.
One other
item......we would ask parents to please NOT pull into the WMLL main parking lot to
drop off their players. The lot is very small and crowded and turning around or
backing out is a challenge. Please use the signed "player drop off zone"
just to the north of the main entrance along Forward Drive. Thanks.

WMLL
hosts successful State Tournament
-- from
John Welk, who maintains a webpage (unpage@aol.com), which chronicles
the history of Little League baseball tournaments in Wisconsin:
"I was extremely impressed with the job West Madison did in their
role as host for the tournament. The field was in great shape, etc. etc., but the
little touches -- the "state champions" t-shirts, the fireworks, the
bunting all around the field -- really went the extra mile in helping
to make the experience special. I have attended a couple of dozen state
tournaments in different states over the years, including in Wisconsin, and I would rank
what I saw last Friday right at the top of the list. Congratulations to your
organizing committee on a superb job." Thanks John!!
