THE CONCESSION STAND IS OPEN ON SUNDAYS DURING FALL BALL!

Please keep in mind that the Concession Stand is OPEN for business each Sunday during the fall ball season and will be operated by the Fleming family! Aside from the usually great food we offer, Master Chef Mike Fleming is manning the grill and cooking up hamburgers and brats! And, in the next week or two Renee Fleming will be adding Chili to the menu!

Come on down and continue to support Harris at the concession stand and have a great day at the park!

Dear Harris Family,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful summer and is settling into the new school year. This is a just a quick note to inform you that we are now accepting applications for both the BLACK and GOLD all star manager positions for the following divisions:

8U, 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, 15U, and 16-18U

Applying for this position is very easy. Simply go to the "Documents" section of the website. You'll find this tab in the upper left hand corner of the home page, just under "HOME". Once you click on the 'documents' link, you'll see a document titled "2011 All Star Manager Application". Download that document and fill it out accordingly. When you are done, please email the application to " " and I'll distribute it accordingly.

The selection of the BLACK all star manager is made by the board of directors at Harris. The commissioner of Cal Ripken (John Mikalian), the commissioner of Babe Ruth (Dan Oates) and the new softball commissioner will present the viable candidates to the board for review and ultimately a vote on who the manager will be. 

We would like to name both the BLACK and GOLD managers by Sept 15, 2010 in order to provide them ample time to prepare for winter workouts.

Take good care,
Dan

Wow..  Time sure flies.  It seams like only yesterday when our 2009 Harris Black 13U Players went to Utah to represent Harris at the Babe Ruth World Series.  2009 proved to be another great year for the Harris Baseball and Softball program.  You can see why our program year in and year out produces some of the finest players in the area.  Here are a few highlights (If I missed a team - let me know):

Harris Black 13U Baseball - World Series Participants
Harris Black 14U Baseball - District Runner Ups
Harris Black 9U Baseball - Indiana State Champions
Harris Black 10U Baseball - Indiana State Runner Ups
Harris Black 11U Baseball - Indiana State Champions

Harris Heat 12U Softball - Northern Indiana State Champions
Harris Heat 10U Softball - Northern Indiana State Runner Ups

Unfortunately, 2009 is now only a memory, but the 2010 Season is just around the corner.  You will soon be practicing, working on throwing better, or hitting better or making sure you don't miss one of those crazy coaches signals.  The weather outside is horrible, but don't despair because soon we will be hearing the cracks of a well hit ball and hearing fans cheer on their favorite teams.  2010 looks to be another great year for the HTJBSA Baseball and Softball Programs.
