Minor Mets SS makes the play at Second as Rays player slides in under the tag.

   These great little sports encourage each other and rally their teammates when they are at bat. While throwing with accuracy and chasing down well hit balls with such energy remind us that baseball is alive and well.

With dedicated Coaches and supportive parents cheering them on, what a great place for kids today to exercise and make friends as well as learn how to exhibit sportsmanship, experience success and sometimes defeat with a good attitude. For great fun, come out and support Lutz Little League…that’s if you can find a parking spot in the completely packed parking lot!

   It’s amazing! Seven and Eight year old boys play ball like the Pros almost any Saturday afternoon in Lutz. Listening to them call out where the plays are and how many outs they have as well as teasing the pitcher while on base hoping to provoke a wild throw is so entertaining!

Land O’Lakes Little League Open Night

 

By Faith Jordan-Masella

     The Land O’Lakes Little League held their Opening Ceremonies on February 21 at their new fields behind the library.  It was quite an evening with almost 1,000 local children enrolled in the baseball and softball programs in attendance with their families.  They enjoyed Hungry Harry’s Barbeque that was served by the Land O’ Lakes High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Softball Players, Raymond from The Tampa Bay Rays, fun, music courtesy of Brian Baxter, of Applied Sound Reinforcement, and some history lessons on how the Land O’ Lakes Little League got started.  In 1971, the Land O’ Lakes Youth League was formed. 

          

     Some of the original board members were Honored Guests at the Opening Ceremonies including the first President Ted Williams, the first Vice-President Curtis Law, and board members Earle Durham, Clyde Smith, Norman Blankenship, Vince Gallentine, Randy Osgood, and the first Ladies Auxiliary President local artist Kathleen Durham.  Some further trivia included Shirley Blankenship, who was part of the start of softball in 1974 throwing out the first pitch for softball on the new fields to her daughter and former Land O’ Lakes Little League player Mardee Blankenship-Harvey.  Land O’ Lakes High School teacher Kenny Blankenship brought the ball that he hit for the first homerun made at Land O’ Lakes Little League and it was thrown out by former Vice-President Curtis Law to Danny Smith (who was on the first Reds team and who caught the first pitch in 1971) for baseball.  Wow that was a great way to start at the new fields in the middle of all our growth!

 

     The Little League also paid tribute to some of their own who recently passed away.  Families of Thomas Kranendonk, who played many years of Land O’ Lakes Little League, Mike Reed, who was a Land O’ Lakes Little League Director, coach, and father, and Keith Esoff, whose sons play, were brought out to the fields in cars courtesy of Ferman Buick Pontiac GMC Chrysler Jeep Dodge at Cypress Creek, and there was a moment of silence. Jim Kranendonk, father of Thomas, and spoke about his son and said that he will always be on the fields. Trees will be planted at the park in their honor.  Honorary Mayor of Land O’ Lakes and former Land O’ Lakes Little League Board of Director Tina Garrison was an honored guest, The Pine View Drum Line and Jazz Band entertained, and awards were given out for last year to: Scott Hilgenberg-Manager of the Year, Dave Herbert, Board Member of the Year, Bridgett Redman, Team Parent of the Year, Larry Jasper, Humanitarian of the Year, and President Tom Ketterer and son Ryan Ketterer, Volunteers of the Year.

 

       The Committee for the Opening Ceremonies headed up by Karla Turcotte did a fantastic job starting up the newly enlarged complex.  Others on the committee include: Candy Mitchell, Laurie Tipton, and Lazanne Schmidt. Eric Handman emceed.  The evening was capped off with a Fireworks Show put on by Scott McNaull, of Land O’ Lakes, and Melrose Pyrotechnics,  For more information on Land O’ Lakes Little League, call 813-949-3867 or go to eteamz.active.com/lollittleleague.

Girl Scouts pictured are (Amy Moore, of Oakstead Elementary, Lexi Weich, of Pine View Elementary, Stephanie Bienasz, Kristina Bienasz, and Erin Swider, of Pine View Middle School, Joanne Payne, of Oakstead Elementary, Zoe Pointer, Home schooled, of Land O’ Lakes, Troop Members not pictured because they were on the field with their teams are: Liesel Johnson, of Pine View Elementary, Nicole Wilner, of Rushe Middle, and Taylor Libby, of Lake Myrtle Elementary.  For more information on Troop #497, contact Troop Leader Candy Mitchell at 813-909-4097.
