14 Days and Counting

Just 14 days from today, we will hold the 1st Annual Greater Charlotte Hot Stove League banquet to celebrate the growth of youth baseball and softball in the area. We have plenty left to do, but man am I excited! I have wanted to hold one of these for over 20 years and now this is the chance. I have to admit, my first thought of how to hold the event is nowhere near what the event has turned into. I was thinking small and my friend Jeff Shaeffer of Carolinas Baseball Center helped me to think BIG... Jeff has a way of seeing things a little bigger than most and I am very thankful of his ideas.

This event is going to be super, we have Grady Little and a whole host of current and former major league players coming to town. We have 5 great awards we are going to give out that evening to some very deserving youth players. The auction is set up to be one heck of an auction and we are going to kick off fundraising for The Miracle League, an organization designed to build a baseball field for physically and mentally challenged kids.

I hope you can join us for this special evening and help me to make this dream come true.
