Austy8Member

Hi my names austin bradford. Im from jacksonville illinois. Im a real quick right handed outfielder. I led my jv team in stolen bases and batting average last year as a sophmore. Im looking to strengthen my game by playing for a traveling team this coming summer. If anyone knows of any info it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome aboard the HSBBW Austy8. I would guess you're going to have to look towards Springfield or St. Louis for a team. Anyone out there with info for Austy?

St. Louis Pirates are well known and well respected.

Of course, papi's right! They're all phenoms and all play up several years above their age. They really rack up the hardware and a few can sing the Pirates victory song quite well!

I'll bet if you show up with a cold one of these under each arm your chances of landing a spot on the roster are pretty good!

Seriously Austy8, much success with your search. Let us know how it works out!

Hey Austy,

Welcome and I hope you find a team. I'm trying to think of teams we played when we were down at Lenz fields in J'ville. Southern Illinois Bullets, Springfield Statesmen. You might want to check with the guy that runs the Lenz complex down there. I bet he could put you in touch with some teams.

I had an excellent experience playing for the Statesmen. Great group of players, coaches, administrators from top to bottom.
