OTB would like to extend a big thanks to Chris Augeri of the Marlins for all of
his efforts in organizing and setting up this contest, Lenny Wagner of the Marlins
who coordinated the Dracut HS field, the food for the barbeque, the grille, and
helping with the additional fence. Also to Mic McDermott of the Cubs for help with
the fence, pitching, catching, and competing, Warren Macneil of the Braves for
raking and preparing the field, lining the infield with chalk and providing the
red, white and blue bunting for the backstop, as well as pitching, catching, and
competing.
Thanks also to John Harris of the White Sox, and Francisco Faria and Kevin Fleming
of the Yankees for their rubber arms in throwing hundreds of pitches to contestants
as well as competing themselves. Thanks to Frank Serafini of the Giants for bringing the L-screen
on top of his station wagon for the protection of the pitchers, and Brian Burgess
of the Athletics for cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs for the contestants and all the loyal fans
and other OTB players that came by to watch the contest. Thanks also to Andrew Coppola of the Marlins
for helping Brian with the barbeque as well as taking the pictures for the web site. This year's
contest will help us guage how we can improve next year's contest.
A note from Chris Augeri: "Without the effort of these people, events like this can't happen. On behalf
of Over Thirty Baseball, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for
all your help. Because of all our efforts we reached our goal of raising
enough money to play our Championship Game at LeLacheur Field - Home of the
Spinners."
