If money is an issue the church will help sponsor the child. The sign ups are for volunteers also. Their will be a 30 minute training session for the volunteers and let you meet the child you will be helping. The games will be Oct. 1, 8, 15, and 22.

The Pottsville City council will be having a special meeting this Thursday 8/6 at 7:30 pm to vote on condemning and buying the land between the ball park and the school. This is approximately 22 acres that the city will be using as a city park, more fields and other things the community would like in a park. If the city purchases the property they will be trying for a government grant to help pay for the property and improvements. The new baseball fields and a portion of the parking lot will be handicap accessable. If you think this is a good idea we need to have as many people as possible at the meeting to show their support so this will pass. Please help spread the word about this meeting so we will have a good turnout. Thanks and I hope to see you there.

We Were In The Paper

Just wanted to let you all know that A Field Of Angels were featured in today's edition of The Courier.

The Last Game Of The Season

Today was the last game of our season. The older teams played on the softball field and the younger teams played on the small baseball field. The sun was shining and their was lots of cheering from the crowd. We started the day with Jason Campbell singing the National Anthem. Then each player had their name announced over the PA system. After the games, Mark presented each player with their trophy. After receiving their trophy, each player stood on home plate, with their trophy, while their name was announced over the PA. (Thanks Robby for letting us use your PA system). When the games were done, it was time for the hot dog celebration.
I can't believe the season is already over. I have made some great new friends, and I have become a big fan of some really awesome ball players. I will never forget the faces of the players as they held their trophies, the crowd cheering and tons of people taking pictures. They were real super stars today.
For those of you going to the game tomorrow, I look forward to seeing you! I know we will have a great time.
You can keep up with A Field of Angels through the blog. We will post any game days, sign-ups, ect. here.

I will have new pictures up soon:)

Trip to Travelers Game Cancelled

Due to the weather, Mark has cancelled A Field of Angels players trip to see the Arkansas Traveler's Ball game today. He is going to reschedule for another day.

The Sun Is Shining!

Thank goodness the sun was shining and we were able to play today. My day started off with a hug an a kiss from Canyon. That is a pretty awesome way to start the day! The fields were dried out, so the younger team was able to play on the t-ball field. We tried to play three innings, but we didn't quite make it. I hear the big kids had a great game as well. Mark handed out the players pictures. If you didn't get yours today, check with him tomorrow or at the next game.
Speaking of tomorrow.......Tomorrow is the Arkansas Travelers game in Little Rock. I may not be able to go so take lots of pictures please. Everyone have a great time!
