New for 2012! Introducing our Select Team
“Bracebridge Bandits”
Baseball: The Best Souvenir
Recently I had the opportunity to visit Roatan. Roatan is a small island in the Caribbean located 30 miles off the north shores of Honduras. I was in search of a sunny destination and a possible baseball game. What the next three months entailed I will never forget. With the help from Bracebridge’s baseball community; Shawn Lee the convener for minor baseball and Ted Conway the men’s fast pitch convener. I was able to take enough baseball equipment for an entire team to Roatan. With the Help from Ted and Shawn there is one more team that will get to play the game. From the children on Roatan, the conveners of the SOL charity and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank both of you for your contributions to the game of baseball played by the young and the young at heart.
While I was there my intentions from donating equipment, soon become my ticket into an untouched world of minor baseball on the island. I was able to meet wonderful people actively involved with organized sports on the island; Mark Flanagan and Dave Elmore work for the SOL foundation. On Wednesday and Saturday afternoons you can find them cutting grass, picking up kids with the donated bus, umpiring games and teaching kids the fundamentals of Baseball. I was able to coach the Sandy Bay Car Wash team as well as umpire the odd game. The game of baseball is shared by many who love the sport, you just have to look down the grassy hill, on your right past the brick pizza oven (Bella Napoli’s) follow the red clay path, past the laundry drying on the barb wire fences and as you walk through the back yards of the houses out lining the out field, you have arrived. Please if you’re a baseball player, fan or just looking for an untouched diamond in the rough, please take the time and ask a local where you can find the next baseball game no matter where your travels may take you.
