With the heat and pressure of the season fully upon us, it’s a nice change of pace lend a hand in our local communities. So, when the Prospect Valley Rebels little league baseball team needed help rebuilding their baseball field, they came to LGE. The field was in disrepair – full of weeds and rocks – making it an uninviting place to be, let alone a place to play baseball. LGE stepped up to the plate (pun intended) with donations of material, trucking, and equipment time. Along with helping hands from volunteers from the baseball team and the local community, the field was soon ready for the kids to play ball. Now this field is an enjoyable place to watch a baseball game on a hot summer afternoon. It’s not just the little league baseball

"Learn more about RFP mounds today, as they may be exactly what a team needs to improve their pitching staff. Any baseball team, from Little League on up, should consider this option, as baseball is meant to be fun. Injuries that are unnecessary may lead a person to leave the game forever, and this should never happen when an injury can be prevented. The mounds are designed to protect players while allowing them to get the practice they need," Perry
The current trend in baseball park construction is a retro design, reminiscent of the early years, combined with modern technology. This trend, dubbed “The Construction Era” by Frank Deford of Sports Illustrated, is prominent in three new American League parks: Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Jacobs Field, and The Ballpark at Arlington. The current idea for ballpark construction is to locate the retro style parks in the heart of urban areas. The whole movement was initiated by the construction of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and it’s radical new design concept.
The underground economy in the Rio Grande Valley is larger than most areas in Texas, because of the location of the valley and the influence the drug cartels have in Mexico and parts of the valley. This has allowed the underground economy in the valley to remain constant. The overall wealth of the valley has also raised activity as many people during these times struggle with money and is always a issue to many families in the valley. This problem may not be as evident to some as others, but it is a problem we all have in common with no matter what more money always seems to be a solution to one of many problems we may face at times. Although money isn’t the answer to every problem this mentality in a sense could lead some that are in desperate

Lone Star should continue to market itself as an organization formed as an opportunity for special needs adults to enjoy the game of softball and sell the experience it provides to anyone that joins their community. Volunteers are at the heart of the league just as much as the participants and you can feel the excitement when you go out to the fields to watch the games. Lone Star Play Ball Southwest encompasses the heart and desire to change the lives of these participants, family members, and

The memories shared through generations of baseball can be pictured by many, the pickup game of all the neighborhood boys in the vacant lot down the street, the miraculous foul ball landing right in your lap, the classic summer day spent at the ballpark eating hotdogs and singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “Sweet Caroline.” But more recently, these classic memories are being replaced by those of overbearing Little League coaches who need to take a chill pill, boring games that go on for nine extra innings, and overpriced hotdogs that just don’t taste right.
There are thousands of children who play sports in the communities on facilities supported by residents through their tax dollars. The Miracle League of El Paso provides disabled children and young adults in our communities who cannot participate in a sport on a conventional field with a place to play baseball. The Miracle League of El Paso removes the obstructions that stop children with disabilities off the baseball field and allows them to experience playing the field. The main obstruction for disabled children starts from the natural grass fields. The Miracle League of El Paso is about building self-esteem, making new friends, and confidence. The Miracle League of El Paso applies a "buddy" system – coupling each
The Vital Baseball organization was founded in early 2015 in the northern part of the state of Utah. The strategic plan of the founding managers was to build an organization that supports youth baseball at every age level. “First and foremost, strategic planning is a process” (Abraham, 2012, p. 1.7). This process is not to be taken lightly and the Vital
My breakfast started to creep back up my throat as game time got closer and closer. I walked across the patch of grass behind home plate and was towered over by the 30 foot backstop with a huge net suspended from it. My bulging bag of equipment was beginning to make my shoulder hang. I walked down the steps into the cement dugout and placed my bag under the bench that spanned the entire length of the dugout. I sat down, laced up my cleats, and put my warm-up jacket on in preparation for batting practice. I stepped onto the grass surrounding the dugout to get the feeling of how wet the grass was. I dug my cleats into the grass and began my usual routine of taking certain practice swings as I gazed upon the press box in the wake of the backstop. Preceding the burn in my forearms, caused from the practice swings, I marched behind the dugout to the rows of batting cages to wait my turn in line. Pacing back and forth I knew I had to keep my nervousness to a minimum. I popped in a wad of Big League Chew and continued to
Abstract: The Stadium construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want. These new stadiums create only part-time jobs. Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities. The teams are turning public money into private profit. Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense. The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier. New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education. Public money
From the sandlot to stadiums seating over fifty thousand people, the game of baseball has provided people of all ages with a
The environmental health and demographics of a nation determine whether the nation is classified as high, middle, or low income. The World Bank provides global economic data for all nations. In my opinion the Rio Grande Valley can be considered a low income nation. The book talks about global stratification; this is the unequal distribution of resources among nations. The World Bank describes a low income nation whose gross national income per capita is $1,045 or less.
The native plants absorb rainwater back into the ground, as well as the retention pond for local animals. The facility also noted a 46% in potable water savings. ("Sustainable spring training with the Diamondbacks — Relan," n.d.) Since this was during a game, I was able to ask some of the employees what sustainable activities they know about the Salt River Fields. The roof was locally crafted using 100% of high solar reflectance index and designed to shade at least 85% of the outdoor seating. At least 40% of the building material is created from local vendors providing maximum efficiency and energy savings. “In order to preserve the natural shade provided by native vegetation, most mature trees and cacti were protected rather than removed during the complex’s construction.” ("Spring Training and Greening in Major League Baseball | Sustainable Chicago Sports Project," n.d.) This year they decided to challenge the fans by removing all trash cans to divert their food from landfills by composting. This resulted in over 3.5 tons of recycle materials and over 1 ton of compost material.
