Board elections -- IMHO

Saturday morning all parents will be able to vote for the board membership for next year. I'll vote for:

• Dan Peterson for league president, and equipment manager (write-in). I've worked with Dan this season and can attest to his passion and commitment for the league and the game. He put together a late-season clinic which was very good for all involved. I'm writing Dan in for equipment manager, just in case he doesn't win as President. The league needs Dan involved.
  
• Ron Franklin for VP. Ron's been around youth baseball for a very long time and brings a wealth of experience. He left Granger many seasons ago, but has come back. I think his Taylorsville experience will be a great resource.
  

There is discussion that a large investment from the city for ballpark renovation is possible, and I think that money would be best spent in improving the actual playing fields. On the diamond we play on the infield is in modest shape (I'd rate it a 4 out of 10) but the outfield is in horrid shape (I'd rate it a 2). Any incoming money should be used for the improvement of the field and enhancement of player safety.
