To borrow a line from Avis “we try harder.” We try harder led Pleasant Hill, Oregon Babe Ruth Baseball to many victories during the 2010 spring season.
June 13th the Pleasant Hill Major Minor team came in 2nd in the Willamette Valley Babe Ruth League Playoffs, Eugene Sheldon number 1 and Eugene Willamette number 3.
There is some stiff competition in Willamette Valley Babe Ruth. While the Pleasant Hill players were disappointed that they did not take first place they can be extremely proud of themselves as are their families and fans.
The Major Minor team may not have that big trophy in their showcase this year though they do have some wonderful memories to carry forward into next year’s 2011 season. The little community of Pleasant Hill and the surrounding areas that comprise our teams have some talented and dedicated players. The Willamette Valley Babe Ruth teams will once again be playing against teams that not only play harder but also play with strategy, the support of their family and fans and the attitude of winners.
Congratulations Pleasant Hill Major Minor on a fine season. In fact congratulations are in order for all Pleasant Hill Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken teams.
Have a terrific summer with your summer league teams, tournaments, camps or vacations. We look forward to seeing all of you Pleasant Hill, Oregon Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken players back in 2011.
