BRANDYWINE CAL RIPKEN 320 BELL ROAD P. O. BOX 532 NILES, MI 49120 To all: 2010 OHIO VALLEY REGIONAL STATE CHAMPIONS OR QUALIFIERS Congratulations! You have reached something that so far only 80 other teams in the whole country have achieved. That is a season maker in itself! We at Brandywine Cal Ripken BRL would like to welcome you to Niles, Michigan. Home of two great school systems Brandywine Public Schools home of the Bobcats and Niles Public Schools home of the Vikings. We at Brandywine have hosted several State and Regional Tournaments over the 30years we have been affiliated with Babe Ruth Baseball. Our last Regional was back in 2000 in which we hosted the 12 Year Olds. You as a group will be apart of Brandywine Cal Ripken baseball history, as we have finale, accomplished what we set out to do several years ago, with a lot of help from the Niles Charter TWP Parks Dept and some local township officials, and many volunteers from our league, our outfield fence has been moved back approximately 40 45 feet, and more lighting has been added. This feat was started just 3 weeks ago, and with a lot of effort by one particular man, we will just call him, (Joe) our league goal has been achieved. With these renovations we know that this will add a lot of memorable plays in games played here and we hope you get to be apart of the first memorable ones. I have been League President for the last 16 years, and I for one am very proud of the accomplishments that have been made to our facility in such a short period of time, with out the help of the many volunteers it would have never been accomplished. So, to you champions and qualifiers welcome to Brandywine Cal Ripken Baseball and Thank You for being apart of our history! Sincerely Jamie Stover President, Brandywine Cal Ripken BRL
