Carroll High School Baseball Alumni Reunion

*** Reunion Update 6/15 ***

Thanks to all who were able to make it to the reunion. I hope it was worth the trip. Also, thanks to those who donated and helped me get things together. Hopefully we can do this every year. Keep spreading the word. Check out the link for pictures at the introduction and 1st pitch.

*** Reunion Update 6/9 ***

Ok, here are the final details for the weekend unless I here from someone else. The first game for Carroll High is at 2pm. If everyone could be at the stadium at 1:30 that would be great. I would like to get a group picture if possible before the introductions. We will then introduce everyone before the game. Hangout in the dugout and lineup along the baseline or maybe behind the plate so people could see you better. Then Scott Richardson and Steve Sundermann (Gary if he can make it) will throw out the first pitch.

After the game I will head over to Graham park and start setting up for the picnic. I plan on bringing my tailgate grill, hamburgers, brats, buns, chips, beans, and plates. I will ask for a free will donation to cover my expenses. If you would like to bring anything else to grill please feel free. Also, you local guys could bring an extra grill it would be great. Plan on bringing your own beverages. Keep in mind there might be high school kids stopping by.

We will either play at 8pm or on Sunday. All are welcome to stop by and I will try and pick another group of guys to throw out the first pitch, probably Struck and Bells since they started this reunion idea! I feel like I am missing something so please email me with questions if you have any. Please check the list below for those attending. We are upto 22 with more locals guys probably just stopping by at the last minute.

The plans for the picnic are coming together. The concensus likes the idea of using an outdoor spot at Graham park with a BYOB type format. I have a portable grill I can bring to do the cooking and I am sure we can find a couple more grills if needed. As far as food goes I could bring a bunch of hamburgers and ask for donations or people can just bring what they want to grill. If this doesn't work out Nagl suggested just going to Kerps or the 529 club. We are upto around 20 people that can make it and I am sure some will be added next week. The plan for now is to do introductions and the first pitch before our 2pm game. If you could be at the stadium by 1:30 that would be great.

Make sure and bring any pictures, stats, memories that you would like to share and/or put on the website. I am also looking for improving my team pictures, stats and adding as many photos as possible. I usually just use my digital camera to take a picture of your picture so no scanning needed.

*** Reunion Update 5/27 ***

The schedule for the tournament has been set and Carroll's first game is at 2 pm on Saturday vs. Storm Lake. If we win we would play on Sunday at 2pm, lose Saturday at 8pm. I need to get a list of people who plan on attending to the Athletic office so you can get your free admission and get introduced before the game on Saturday. If you are not on the list below please let me know ASAP if you plan on attending.

The plans for the picnic are still not finalized. I am struggling to find a location and to make plans. Several people have volunteered to help, but I am not sure what type of help I will be needing. Suggestions would be very helpful.

Just talked to Denny O'Grady and he is booked already with the Dowling Invitational. He wishes he could make, but will be thinking about you guys.
