Historical Tidbit:

The Edison Power Plant on Spring St. 

A bout 1945 the tower was deconstructed; before that, the whistle blew each night at 7 pm.
 
EB Historian, Margaret Alexander remembers... "We kids hated that whistle. It meant it was time to stop playing with our friends and come home each night."  
Great Opportunity for students to gain experience in publishing, writing & marketing

EB Little League News:
The February 3rd softball clinic will be from 12:30-1:30pm for 7-9 year olds and 1-2pm for 10+ year olds. Cost is $5 per player.  Anyone interested in pitching clinics, which take place during the clinic, please email Donnie Davidson at  dpdo76@yahoo.com . If you can volunteer at the clinics,  sign up here !
    
The baseball evaluations will be held on Saturday, February 9th at East Coast Eagles facility. Major league evaluations are from 9am to 10:30am. Players ages 10, 11 and 12 who did NOT play on a major league team last year and wish to play in the majors this year MUST attend evaluations.

Minor league evaluations are from 10:30am to 12pm. Players ages 9, 10, and 11 who wish to play minor league MUST attend evaluations.
There is no need to attend both evaluations. You and your child should decide which level he/she would like to play at and attend that evaluation. Keep in mind that there is a possibility that not all who are evaluated for major league will be selected at the draft. Players should bring their gloves and wear comfortable work out clothing with sneakers, not cleats. They may bring a bat and helmet if they have one but EBLL will supply them. Evaluations will consist of 5 swings in a batting cage and 10 fielding drills. Players will be evaluated on contact and power in the batting cage and fielding and throwing in the fielding drills. An evaluation of one player takes about 5-10 minutes. The evaluators will be the actual coaches at each level.
 
Don't forget, you have to be registered in order to participate in the clinics and evaluations!  Sign up today !

Starting Over...

"Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over." ~ Guy Finley

“The only real battle in life is between hanging on and letting go.”
~ Shannon L. Alder

“Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues" say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over.” ~ Horacio Jones

Now's the time. ~Jacquie
