New for 2012! 
North Ridgeville Baseball League, Inc. Hotline!
(440) 723-DIRT (3478)
Call for rainout information or to speak to a league representative!

 
One Call Now Information
We are proud to announce that we will be using the One Call Now service for additional means of communication!
Head Coaches were supplied with phone lists which the parents will be asked to verify and prioritize their phone numbers.
Once these are returned, the team phone roster will be added.
All calls will show 440.723.4378 as the origin (which is the league phone number)
Not only will the League be able to mass-call, but each team will have their own account to use! If you haven't verified your number with your coach, bug them!

In addition, the service has the ability to send text messages. 
In order to accept text messages, you will need to text the word ALERT to 22300 from each cell phone you wish to receive texts from. This will opt your cell phone in. 

Questions? Contact Pat Anderson, webmaster@nrhotstove.com or 216.225.8177

Fall Projects
If you haven't been around Palmer Field for a while, drive on through. There is a great deal of work going on to make Palmer even better! Here are some of the things going on:
New Dugouts on Fields 1 and 3:
The old dugouts met their match and are being replaced with all new dugouts. All dugout floors are being built on cement bases, so no more mud! In addition, new fencing is going up from the backstop, all the down the first and third base lines! Field 3 is getting a brand new backstop as well!
The Lights:
The rumors are true; Field 2 will have lights next year! This means the return of night games at Palmer. It is even rumored that Opening Day 2012 will be an extraveganza, under the lights! More details to follow...
Other Items:
*Grass has been planted near the parking lot and Field 2...
*Several trees on the first base side of Field 3 and the overflow parking lot were removed...
*Other beautification projects are ongoing, such as potentially re-graveling the parking lot, possible fences instead of telephone poles as parking lot borders, point-of-sale system for the concession stand, security system to prevent future vandalism, upgraded sound system and much more.
 
2012 is going to be an exciting time at Palmer. We are always looking for people that want to join the fun and help out on projects or events. Contact a Board Member if you would like to join the fun. 2012 will be a season like no other. Spring is right around the corner (after a hopefully mild winter) and the Board could not be more pumped!
