HLL ALL STARS ARE POSTED

Thank you to all HLL players this 2010 season. Everyone has had their own special All Star moment this season. Putting on the cleats and taking your at bats is the true meaning of youth baseball. Congrats to all for a great 2010 season.

As you may know, the league has a page in the Hinsdalean every week.  We encourage user submitted material, so if you would like your team, a special game, or outstanding play to be included, please email the league or Nick Bucheleres (nick.bucheleres@gmail.com)with a write up and/or photo.  

Check the lost and found!!  Our lost and find bin in the umpire closet is reaching critical mass, so please check it if you are missing anything.  There are chairs, bats, mits, coats, and even shoes.  If you believe you have lost something, please stop by Pierce to check out the bin. 

Thanks to all that attended the HLL movie night!  We had a great turn out and raised almost $200 for the Hinsdale Wellness House.  We will be hosting another movie night in a few weeks, so stay posted!

HLL Biggest Asset - Larry Burda

Everyone please express their gratitude to Larry Burda whenever you see him at Peirce Park. He is the extremely handsome figurehead wander around the PK on a daily basis. Thank him, pat him on the back, ladies A BIG HUG WOULD GO A LONG WAY. Without Larry we would have to turn HLL over to the Village of Hinsdale and considering the current condition of our fine village – I don’t think anyone would want to see Larry go away.

Driving around Peirce Park please keep the speed limit to 10MPH and respect our neighbors and energy filled little leaguers

Let’s make 2010 the best ever. REMEMBER - It is all about the kids and all they really care about is what color slushie they will get after the game.
