Rule of the week: Drop Third Strike. If, with two men out or with first base unoccupied regardless of how many are out, the batter swings and misses the ball for his third strike or the umpire calls the third strike and if the catcher does not catch the pitched ball before it touches the ground, the batter is entitled to run for first just as if he had hit the ball. First base is considered occupied if the runner is at first at the time of the pitch.

The SPAA Board would like to know your interest in having a "Wooden Bat" division(s) for Fall Ball and possibly during the 2010 season. We would open up all ages if there is sufficient appeal. Please send your email to the office, stpeteraa@spaa.com, if you would like to participate. Thanks, John Ryan.

SPAA Cardinal tickets (July 31) still available in the SPAA office.

Packets for fall ball will be available in the SPAA office beginning Monday, June 22.

Board Members Needed

SPAA News and Events

The SPAA is an organization that relies on voluntary help of its members. The Board organizes the activities and sets the policies of our league. When elected, board members are elected for a 3-year term. All Board of Director rolls are done on a volunteer basis.

Here are some of the requirements;

Open to Parents, coaches, and managers over 21 years of age.

Scheduled meetings held at 7 PM on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.

Work on two or three SPAA committees that meet 1-3 times per year.

Have 2 full weeks of board duty during the summer and approximately 12 days of duty in the fall.

Help out at the team registration and at least one individual registration.

Attend 2 managers meetings per year. (March and November)

Being a board member does require some time, however, nothing makes you feel prouder than a team or parent telling you they are playing in SPAA because it is the best ran organization around. That is a direct reflection on the SPAA Board of Directors and our managers.
