With just a few weeks remaining of the regular season, Herts Baseball Club has announced the 2008 postseason schedule. It will be packed with events for all branches of the Herts Baseball organisation, from the Little League to the club’s adult teams. The postseason is also the time to get volunteers, friends and family members involved and playing the game. Who knows? The club may discover a new superstar among friends and family members.
In September the Herts Little League will be hosting its first tournament inviting all the top British League teams in the Bronco age group (10-13 year olds). Most of these teams will include players who are members of the GB Juveniles Team so the Herts Little League will be able to check on its progress against top opposition.
The postseason period coincides with a critical period for the club’s project to develop Grovehill Ballpark. The club requires one final fundraising push before commencing the construction work. If the club reaches its fundraising target, members of the club as well as everyone else in the British baseball community can look forward to 2009 when the revamped Grovehill Ballpark and its second baseball diamond will be unveiled. Members of the adult and Little League teams will be asked to play a key role in the upcoming fundraising events and absolutely everyone must do their best to take part in these events.
This September and October the club remembers fallen Falcon number 36 in the 2008 Kyle Hunlock Series. Full details of an exciting new format for this event will be released in the next few days. As part of the event, Herts Baseball Club will be making history with the first ever live radio broadcast online on the Herts Baseball Channel.
Even after the last pitch of the season is thrown, club events keep coming thick and fast as we build up to 2009, so make a note of these dates.
