information from West Seattle Little League

Sunday’s amazing turnout of parents and players devoting hundreds of volunteer hours to improve the fields at Bar-S was undermined by acts of vandals overnight on Sunday March 19. Some of the damage:

• Buildings were broken into
• Facilities were “tagged” with graffiti
• South field fence was vandalized
• South outfield damaged by vehicle
• Infields, already in rough shape from all the rain, were trashed by a vehicle
• Damage done to the newly rebuilt pitchers’ mound on the south field
• Damage done to batters’ box on the north field

WSLL will work to repair the damage as quickly and completely as possible to get the fields back in playing shape for the players. We hope the entire West Seattle community will join us in keeping watch and reporting behavior that tries to steal our kids’ opportunity to play baseball.

The kids are excited to play in this Saturday's jamboree but now we are in a race to repair the fields.

Some repair work HAS been done but more is needed.

If you can help, we will have work parties to address this damage on Thursday and Friday night from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm. Call 206-683-3551 to offer your help or just show up at the field.

Work will include graffiti removal and infield work to repair damage.

Thanks from the WSLL Board

If you know of any people in the construction/ landscaping business that could help out with the field, would be much appreciated.
