I received a message from Paul Myers last week to inform me that Oil City would be hosting the opening round of the district 1 playoffs for 8 - 10 year old baseball. Then the rains came and more messages about postponing game after game. Finally a packed Sunday was declared a go but the amount of rain in the last week meant a lot of work getting the fields playable. My last message to Paul was answered "We're finishing the fields right now, they actually look pretty good, so Oil City will be playing at 11."
Dedicated workers making sure youth baseball clings on for today's youth who love the game.
I caught sight of Paul in-between games lining the batter's boxes.They were there for four games on a Sunday, you know, the day of rest. Each game required more work to get it in top shape for the next important game. And they'll be there again today getting ready for tonight's game as well.
Another tireless supporter of the community is my fellow photographer and friend Kelly Malek who seems to be at everything community related and especially sports. She takes so many photos for the high school and also up at Cranberry it's truly amazing the gift she gives to the kids, parents and grandparents with her talent and love of photography.
