Bandera; You have achieve a great objective and goals. Congratulations. When I coached our Summer team I invited Tommy Lasorda to speak at a banquet. We sold out the Vets center [500 tickets]. Received "negative" press. "A Dodger in Giant's Country". Next day it flooded in Sonoma County and use the Vets Bldg for the "homeless".

I think the ads mostly paid for the program (which was given away free), but it was also a fundraiser for the team. Our schools also all gives out a roster sheet with home and away teams at each game (so that you can tell who the players are). I suppose one could sell ads for...

1. Where do you guys get the money for this? 2. Is the backstop netting or chain link? If it is chain link, get rid of it. Makes a huge difference.

Our RBI club is very active supporting the team and I’m seeking suggestions of neat things to add to the high school ballpark to make a more enjoyable fan experience. At some point I would like to do a wall of alumni who went on to the next level or who made it to professional baseball. Anybody have any image to share of one that really stood out? We are getting custom Cornhole boards for the ballpark next week. Anything else we should consider? We are looking at banners that you mount on...
