NEEDED: (Quite) A Few Good Men for 2010

                          

       If you’re thinking about baseball in 2010, consider playing in the East Metro Baseball League (EMBL). We are actively looking for players to join us under the lights.

 

       If you’re not familiar with the EMBL, we play ALL our games at night in Conyers/Covington. All games are played Mon-Thurs, games starting at 7:30 PM. Especially in the summertime, a lot of guys like avoiding the sweltering heat of the day.

 

This is our 8^th year, and we have 11 teams, 6 in the 18+ division and 5 in the  35+ division. We would like to expand the league to 7 teams in each division, so we have plenty of room.

 

How do you get on a team? It’s pretty simple: no tryouts are needed. Simply email me at johngambs@mindspring.com or call at 770 788 8077 and  you’ll get picked up by a team by the season’s starts.

 

 We have a PRE-SEASON tourney in April and the REGULAR SEASON starts in May.

 

How good are the players? We have guys with all different abilities: some guys ( not a lot) have played professional ball in the past; we also have guys who haven’t played since Little League.

 

Some guys are in great shape, others are struggling to get into shape. Some pitchers fire it in there (in the over 18 league) in the mid 80’s, some pitchers (mostly in the 35+ league) throw in the 60’s and 70’s.

 

We welcome EVERYONE who has a love of the game . There is a very accepting attitude in the league that you get to play regardless of  your ability. Obviously, the top players will get more playing time, but teams get everyone in the mix.

 

We’re looking forward to a terrific season, and hope you will join us!
