Tri-County Baseball League
Johnson is no stranger to the struggles of business, having filed for Replica Handbags UK bankruptcy in 2012, but to her it's all part of the ride. "It ain't hard when you love it," she deadpanned. "It's beautiful when you love it, and I still love it after 50 years. I still love it. I'm creative consultant for all my brands, so I kick them in the ass when they need to get a little more Replica Designer Handbags creative. It's great. It's just perfect. I've had a Cheap Watches UK perfectly wonderful, happy life."As for her plans for the Fake Watches UK awards ceremony, she'll attend with her family, including her daughter, Lulu, Hublot Replica UK and two granddaughters. "I'm going to drag my whole family on stage to cartwheel with me," she laughed about what she'll do when she accepts the Christian Louboutin Replica UK award. Just another thing to look forward to at the CFDA Awards ceremony on June 1.
Minutes of meeting
Wednesday, April 10, 1996
7:30 p.m., Spring Valley
A.A.
Roll Call : All Officers
and Teams present.
Special Report:
D. Hemerly introduced Bill Exaros, president of Bethlehem Umpires
Association (BUA). He described some of
his concerns in responding to complaints about quality of umpires. The BUA will assign experienced umpires as
evaluators to travel to various games and review umpires. Also, representatives have an opportunity to
register complaints at any time through the umpire assignor or to BUA
officers. In order for the BUA to
improve umpire quality, do not let problems fester; express yourself at the
time an incident occurs. Exercise good
judgment; after all, BUA umpires are not professional umpires. They are striving to improve themselves, but
do not complain about one bad call -- complain about a pattern of bad calls,
inconsistency, unprofessional attitude or attire, lateness, etc. Mr. Exaros extended his thanks to the League
ford the pay increase. He also asked
that in order to reduce the potential for incidents, no abuse be tolerated from
one team to another. When the first
incident occurs, he has asked umpires to call time and privately warn
managers. M. Svanson mentioned the most
serious problems he and the rest of the league experience is lack of hustle and
umpires out of position. D. Rosenberger
also spoke of his concern about the strike zone shrinking after 5th inning. Mr. Exaros again emphasized evaluations by
team representatives are welcome. They
can be relayed through the Umpire Assignor; or contact Mr. Exaros
directly: work 865-3404 or home 866-9796.
Old Business:
League Fees: J. Ciganick requested a $5 increase as a contribution to Hall of
Fame plaques. The suggestion was approved. League fees for 1996 will be $170 due at May 8 meeting.
Schedules: D. Ernst reviewed schedules.
All changes were made and the schedules will be going to the printer
very shortly. Any changes after the
schedule is printed should be made by calling Todd Greb, who will update the
newspapers.
Umpire Blacklist: J. LaBella has
already assigned umpires to nearly all Tri-County games. Those blacklisted for the entire League from
last year will not be used this year.
Any special requests by individual teams to blacklist a particular
umpire for their home games must be submitted immediately. D. Hemerly reiterated his intention to not
umpire in Tri-County due to potential conflict of interest. It was also again suggested that visiting
teams, in particular, begin writing the names of umpires in the scorebook (as
in Legion) so managers know which umpire is which.
Publicity: Most teams have submitted write-ups for the season-opening
article. Those few teams remaining who
have not MUST get the information to T. Greb immediately! The article will be printed prior to
season opening and must be written now.
New Business:
East Texas potential field problem: M. Merkel reported that
East Texas had worked out its field difficulties and would continue to play at
the East Texas field.
Banquet: D. Snyder will book West End Youth Center for August 24.
Statistics: S. Smull discussed statistics sheets and asked if other categories
should be added. There was some
discussion about including Stolen Bases, but this issue had been brought up
before and we were unable to decide how to count a stolen base by a courtesy
runner, if courtesy runner does not count as an appearance. The issue was tabled. Statistics sheets will be distributed at
next meeting.
Line-Up Cards: D. Snyder will provide at next meeting.
Rule Books: Distributed by D. Rosenberger.
