HEADLINES  | | | | | Help Barry Desilets Raise Money for Multiple Sclerosis | by vince fortin posted 05/15/2008
| | Join Barry Desilets in his support of the National MS Society | | | Barry Desliets, one of Upton's super baseball volunteers is riding in the Cape Cod Getaway to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.
MS is an unpredictable and devastating disease that can attack any of us in the prime of life. Imagine, one day you are ready to take on the world, and the next you are faced with the diagnosis of an incurable and potentially debilitating disease.
Barry has coached baseball for over a decade in the Upton Youth Club program. In 2007 Barry was the official scorer for the 10 Year Old Cal Ripken District Tournmament held at the VFW. He attended every game. In 2008, he ran our indoor winter baseball clinic, our umpire training program, and 2 coach training sessions.
This is a chance for us to give something back to Barry, but more importantly to this important cause.

posted 01/15/2008
The baseball committee has been busy during the “off-season” getting ready for 2008. Here are some of the changes/improvements for the coming season
- Playing-up – Playing-up will not be allowed in Minors or Majors in either the Spring or Summer seasons. This decision was made after a lengthy discussion and review of our decision last year to allow playing-up. We also consulted with the towns in our Cal Ripken District and the overwhelming majority of towns do not allow playing-up.
- Positional Play – In an effort to develop all around baseball players and erase the stigma that only the less talented players play in the outfield, a strong effort will be made in Majors and Minors to have every player play in both the infield and the outfield in every game.
- Coach Certification - Majors and Minors Managers and Coaches will be certified by the Cal Ripken baseball association. For each team, the Manager (Head Coach) and one first Assistant Coach will complete the Cal Ripken on-line certification program, Coaching Youth Baseball: The Ripken Way (Note: All Managers and Coaches for Summer Ripken teams are required to complete the certification program.) This program trains coaches how to teach the game of baseball properly as well as how to make it fun, safe, and exciting for the kids. The plan is to expand the program next year. (For more information, click on the Certification Program tab.)
- New Baseball Jerseys - To help control costs, we are going to start re-using baseball shirts for the Spring season in Majors/Minors. Players will be responsible for returning their uniform shirts at the end of the Spring season. Sponsor names will no longer appear on the front of the uniform. Instead, the team name will be printed on the front and the sponsor name will be printed on the hat. Sponsors names can also be found on a new sign that will be placed on the Snack Shack. Please support our sponsors!
- New Electronic Scoreboard - Thanks to Upton Men’s Club and our sponsors, a permanent 9’ by 4’ LED electronic scoreboard will rise above the center field fence on the large diamond of the VFW.
- A new, larger shed has been built for the VFW fields replacing the brown shed. The new shed has more accessible storage space and a ramp for a tractor will be added. In addition, we are planning to add an audio system to play the national anthem before each game. The brown shed has been moved to the right field corner of the large field. Rakes, lime and the lime machine will be stored in the shed.
- A flag pole has been installed between the two fields at the VFW.
- New foul poles for the large field are also planned as is additional seating.
- We will continue to update baseball equipment for all ages and levels.
Other changes are forthcoming and will be announced shortly. If you have any questions, please contact us.
