The Home Run Card

The League continues its Field Improvement Fund to support the continuing refurbishment of fields and building of new fields. The Home Run Card will be a major fund-raiser for this Fund.  Each player will purchase two $5.00 Cards which is included in the $55 registration fee. The player may sell these valuable discount cards and keep the proceeds of the sale. This provides each player the opportunity to participate in the development of facilities which all will enjoy.
