The Washington Heights A’s BaseballLeague is off to a good start. There are so many happy kids and parents — so much excitement — so much hard work and dedication by all who are working to make our league a success.

Doug Alexander and some of the team mates have raised money for the team by having alley sweeps. Other donations have come from the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council, Rosedale Neighborhood Association, many businesses in the area, area residents, as .well as non-residents, and Washington Heights Neighbors Association gave a sizeable donation. Cleo and

Doug Alexander of the 5 700 block of DeGiverville, who coordinated their efforts in getting the baseball league off the ground, should be given a medal of bravery and a medal for dedication for accomplishing the unbelieveable task of bringing so many people together to work on helping to keep the kids busy this summer. Thanks so much,

Cleo and Doug!, being that you don’t have children of your own.

The weekend of May 19 was the Washington Heights A’s season opener. It was a very successful one, considering the teams were formed in three weeks and only practiced during that time.

Four of the six teams played. They were the Atoms, Bantams, the 11 Year Old Midgets and the 12 Year Old Midgets. Two teams won their games and two team lost. The boys were wonderful and great sportsmen. We hope for the remaining 11 games we will have more spectator participation.

The Juveniles and Juniors Teams will begin the weekend of June 2.

And … it’s not too late for anyone wanting to make a donation to the team. Just send all donations to: Skinner-DeBaliviere Community Council, c/o Anna Busch, 6008 Kingsbury Avenue 63112.
