N. 1 MILE NORTH OF HIGHWAY 2 By Don Fraser When Bowmanville's senior baseball team takes to the field on Monday afternoon against Belleville at Soper Creek Park they will be starting starting the season with an almost entirely new line up. With the departure of eight players from last year's starting team, for various reasons, it will be a season of re-building. With the exception of two or three the team is made up of players who have played all their minor baseball in Bowmanville with most of them still being of Juvenile or Junior age. It has only been two or three weeks since it was decided to have a team. Due to my commitments to E.O.B.A. I was not supposed to be involved involved with any individual team, however, rather than see the team drop out I have decided to do what I can to see that the team gets off on the right foot. Ian Miller has taken over as coach, but we could definitely use more help in this regard. The team, along with Dan and myself, know it is going to be a year of frustration, but we could also surprise a few people along the way. What we do need is all the fan support that we can get, and just hope that they can bear with us. We know that there is nothing that can take the place of experience, experience, but the players have the desire and are out to prove to themselves that they can be competitive. Lets get out and support them.
