ABO has been amazing in so many ways. I don’t know if there are enough words to capture the true meaning of what Alternative Baseball means to me and so many others, but the least I can do is try!! I was an equipment manager for ten years and while I cherish those memories, Alternative Baseball is a whole different ball game. For the first time since I was 14 years old, I am a player. Alternative Baseball, to me, has given me a 2nd chance to play the game I fell in love with. For the first time, I feel the game loves me right back. Everyone has been so supportive of each other from the athletes, the parents, the local college players, and the community on down. We root for each other and pick each other up so that it is genuine and real. That’s the true meaning of being a team and we’re all a part of it.  Something special is going on that’s growing every week.  I am beyond excited about what the future has in store, keep up the great work!

Thank you so much
