Australian Baseball Players Alumni

[Deleted]

The Australian baseball community is informed of a new and tremendously exciting initiative recently undertaken by a group of passionate baseball people – many of whom have achieved at the highest levels in the sport.

Australian Baseball Players Alumni has had an active Facebook presence for a few days now.

The organisation will launch its website in the very near future as it offers to its members – and visitors - the opportunity to stay actively engaged in our great sport while being exposed to an array of news items, fascinating interviews, event reporting and much, much more.

Check out the Alumni Facebook page.

For a taste of what is to come, tune in to the riveting one-on-one with Craig Shipley – an Aussie trailblazer in Major League baseball.

Guys/Girls

I wanted to send this message out to make all aware of the Australian Baseball Alumni which has been started and Headed by Brett Ward former Helms Award winner and Australian Player, Mark Marino former Australian NSW, ABL and Californian Angles pitchers, along with our new head of Australian baseball National teams Craig Shipley and former Big leaguer Glen Williams.

I urge everyone to jump on board and become a member, details are alongside the forum advertising site.

The Alumni website is at www.abpaa.com

All former and current Australian Major league players have joined along with the great the support of JET COURIERS and Brett Ralph as the major sponsor.

The aim of the Alumni is to raise money for clubs in need, kids that cant afford to go on trips or have hit hard times, sending teams overseas, helping fund junior national teams and so on.

We have a Graeme Lloyd old timers game jersey he wore up for Auction at the moment, so jump on and have a bid.

The goal is to get 10,000 members and with 100,000 playing and non playing members of baseball clubs along with supporters it is a task I think in time we can reach.

Everyone jumped on board for the Brooke Kennedy fund and we raised $80,000, we made a difference in her life, she has had the operation and has responded amazingly, we all made a difference, we have a chance to do the same here to make a difference in baseball in Australia.

So I urge all to become a member, lets get this program going and make a difference in someone's life.

please pass on to all clubs all former players who may not read this forum, get it on facebooks and share it around.


thanks

If you have not already noticed, Australian Baseball Alumni is producing some terrific interviews, writing some interesting, original feature stories and offering some invaluable coaching tips as we generate awareness and gain further traction in the Australian baseball community.

All of our contributors and our supporters are volunteers, people who have willingly put their names and their credentials out into the public domain.

Many of them are prominent and revered members of the world baseball community who have embraced the Alumni concept and are committed to helping out with the promotion and development of Australian baseball.

Some highly desirable items continue to be offered in our online auctions, the proceeds from which will be sensibly and transparently directed towards developmental projects at the discretion of our Committee of Management.

Check out our website and Facebook page.

Take out an Alumni membership.

Suggest story ideas and nominate worthy baseball projects that we may be able to support – at all levels of the sport, and in any governing jurisdiction across the land.

We urge you to get on board.

As members of the baseball family, together we can do great things.
