shs85 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Is this something that's going to happen at the end of the playoffs??
MrUmp1 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Yes it is. The local TASO Umpire chapter is going to host an Allstar game at Vincent Beck on Saturday June 14th. There are going to be 2 games at present one for seniors who have graduated and one for underclassman. Tickets will be 5.00 and will go to help fund our Schlorship fund. Last year we presented seven one thousand dollar schlorships to local ball players. The only way we can make this a huge success if you the fan come out to the ball park and support our fund. Tickets are available now. If you contact me through this website I can give you info on buying advanced tickets. MrUmp1
MrUmp1 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Tickets will be sold at the gate but we would like to sell as many as we can presale to get an idea of the crowd. Send me a message and I can meet some people in the Beaumont area to sell tickets.
MIF04 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 TASO does good work here... their scholarship efforts are one of the best things in SE Texas. Thanks guys.
MrUmp1 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 There will be a game for graduated seniors and one for underclassman. Still looking at a few things but kinda hard to split up small and big schools or you would gave to many games.
cleanup13 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 When will the scholarship recepients from this year be announced?
shs85 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Posted May 11, 2008 Will there be so many position players and then pitchers for each team??
MrUmp1 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 When will the scholarship recepients from this year be announced? I believe in July. We have to see how much money we raise to know how many we can award and for how much money.
MrUmp1 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Will there be so many position players and then pitchers for each team?? There will be plenty of both. Coaches are nominating their players and we will choose from those.
TheCardinalFan Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Will the players get a chance to practice, besides on their on? Will they get any other information from their Coaches?
MrUmp1 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Will the players get a chance to practice, besides on their on? Will they get any other information from their Coaches? I really don't know, but the main thing is have a fun day and raise some money for the schorlarship fund. Everybody wins.
shs85 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Posted May 17, 2008 Who gets to coach these teams? Do the players get to pick the coaches?
MrUmp1 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 There are certain rules UIL for the underclassman game so the umpire chapter is picking the coaches which cannot be current coaches. Current coaches can coach the senior game. I will say again this is not about winning or losing this game , it is about raising money to give back to the same kids for college scholarships
Guest BC boy 17 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Will a list of players selected to participate be published somewhere?
NSG2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 Is there a list of players that has been selected to play so far? If so, can you please list the names?
MrUmp1 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 The players will be notified this week from the umpires association and they can accept playing in one of the games. All of these players were nominated by their coaching staffs.
mustangs_2007 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Posted May 18, 2008 does that go for the kids who graduated to?
NHS83LU87 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Just a suggestion for the future. I think if you play the games during the week on two nights during this time of year, more of the players would be available to play. (I know of two players that were asked to play but were committed on that weekend as they are on most weekends this time of year.) I know I would pay to attend both games during a week resulting in more money for the fund. Just an idea!
mustangs_2007 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 i graduated last year and my coach left so how would i get nominated?

At this time, what we are more intrested in, is having enough people to work to put this on. There is more than just a couple of games being played. Having it on a Saturday gives us a bigger pool of our members that can work.
Guest Bulldog Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 i graduated last year and my coach left so how would i get nominated? I believe it's just for 2008 Seniors and below........
