If the game you were going to watch tonight (Varsity, JV, Knothole) was rained out, come on over to Highland Park for Community Appreciation Day with the Highlands Bluebirds v. Dayton Greendevils. Festivities start around 4:00 PM with 1st pitch at 5:00 PM. Free pizza (donated by Mio's), hot dogs and small Gatorades while they last.

 

A small way of saying "Thanks" from the Highlands Baseball team to the community for all their help and support this year. The coaches and others have been working hard all day to make sure the field was playable for this important game / event.

Hats off to Coach and the boys for this nice gesture.

So how did it go? How many people showed up to support the Baseball program? Sounds like it would of been a good time. Did you attend? Was there alcohol? LOL

What? What? What?.

 

Must be an inside joke or you are being facetious because I dont get any of this.:confused:

Nice showing overall and a nice age range from 2 to 90! Not sure about total attendance, but I know we went through 88 hot dogs, 4 large pizzas, several inflatable bats, multiple temporary tattoos, bunches of silly bands and quite a few autographed pictures by the Seniors for the little ones. As important, I know some of the young kids got to toss on the field with the Varsity players prior to the game. Hopefully some of them grow up wanting to play on the same field for the Birds.

 

Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make it a special event.

Sounds like a pretty good turnout and nothing but good comes out of these kind of days.

Man, had I known they were doing tatties I would have been there...............................

 

I do believe this event is alot of fun and lasting especially on the 8-12 yr kid. Most HS Athletes have no idea how much these young guys idiolize them or want to be like them someday. Win Win imo:thumb:

A great day for baseball! I know a second grader Easy E that was excited to work with young Jones in pregame. I would not be surprised if he took credit for complete game shut out (lol). He took his program and autograph photos to school today for show and tell. Thanks to the program, coaches and volunteers!!
