Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to McGreal's last night to kick off the NMSL season.   

Last night was definitely a success and something we will make an annual event going forward for sure.  Special thank you to MaryAnn, Kevin, Chip and the rest of the McGreal's crew for making us feel at home like they always do and for supplying the first round and the burgers and dogs.  

I also wanted to say thank you to Adam Blake for taking on the large task of running with the uniform orders for all of the teams including working with the sponsors, The Embroidery Clinic on logo designs and all of the teams for their orders.  

Special thanks to Stu Sherman and Matt Daly for running with last nights fundraiser for the Schindler Family towards their campaign to raise awareness and funding for Childhood Cancer Research and the winner Bob Ross of Stella's for donating his winnings back.    In one night, NMSL stepped up again and raised over $800 towards this great cause which will be donated to the Schindler family, plus an additional $500 from our league for a total donation of $1,300.  

Lastly, this season DB&S Lumber of Norwell will be sponsoring a Season Long Home Run Derby!

Rules are as follows:   

·         Each team will keep a running tally of Home Runs hit on a game by game basis. 

·         Each team is on the honor system to keep track of their home runs and report them to the league each week.  Weekly standings will be provided 

·         At the end of the year, the team with the most home runs will get a $10 per home run donation from DB&S Lumber to be allocated to a Norwell related Charity or Family in Need.  For Example, Stellas Kitchens hits 75 home runs in total at the end of the regular season, DB&S will write a check for $750 to whichever charity the team chooses.

·         Winning Team will also get a $200 bar tab at a location of their choice to celebrate being Home Run Champs

Thanks again and I'm looking forward to another fun and safe season and seeing you all at the fields.

Best Regards,

Vinnie Maggiulli

NMSL Commissioner
