Officially, the draft for the Fall season starts Wednesday at noon. Unofficially, these guys are so darn excited to start picking players that they just can't wait. I could be stubborn and not post anything until Wednesday, but why? So here's the link to follow along with the draft.
Dave Fortier Elected to the Board
In an exceptionally close vote, Dave Fortier (51%) was chosen to fill the spot on the D1 board vacated by Hank Culley's resignation. He assumes the remainder of Hank's term, which expires at the end of 2027.
I want to thank Dave Sanders (47%) and Chris Schubert for running. It may sound like a cliche, but the truth is this league cannot run without volunteers, and Mr. Sanders and Mr. Schubert do a lot for our league, with managing, umpiring and working with new players at evals as they come into our league.
This was a special election, but we will have the regular annual election in the fall. 3 spots are at stake, currently held by Dan Shelley, Jan Held and Mike Ford.
Thanks to Dave, Dave and Chris and thank you to the voters. We had a very high voter turnout. 93% of the eligible voters cast a vote.
