Dear Stuyvesant Parents, Players and Alumni,

As Bill Veeck said, “There are only two seasons—winter and baseball.”

Even though there’s still snow on the ground, baseball season is almost here!

“Opening Day” of the PSAL baseball season is on March 1…our first Varsity scrimmage is scheduled for March 9…and the Hitmen take the field for their first non-league game on Monday, March 10.

An updated list of Varsity games is posted on the Friends of Stuyvesant Baseball website. Please mark your calendars and come out to support the team! (The JV schedule will be posted as soon as it is available. In general, the JV season starts, and ends, a bit later than the varsity season.)

ALSO—please join us for our season-opening parents get-together on February 28th! Please visit the events calendar on the website for more information and to RSVP.

Go Hitmen.

As our fall tryout season winds down – and before the cold weather drives us indoors – we’d like to invite everyone to our Fall JV- Varsity Scrimmage.

Please join us and meet fellow Stuyvesant Baseball parents, learn more about the team and the spring season, and enjoy a fun-filled evening of camaraderie and baseball.

• Who: All parents / families / friends of our new and returning baseball players
• When: This Friday, October 18, at 6:30 p.m. (game time 7:00 p.m.) “under the lights”
• Where: The Parade Grounds, Prospect Park, Brooklyn
• What: Friends, snacks, hot drinks, & baseball!

Please let us know if you’re coming by sending an email to rsvp@stuybaseball.org by Wednesday, October 16 (so that we can have enough food and hot drinks on hand).

Go Hitmen!

“My name is Donald Ferrara (1956) and I was captain of the 1956 baseball team. I received your flyer about the alumni base ball game on sat 6/15/13. I am interested along with some other baseball alumni. Would you allow a couple of 75 year-olds take an at bat? Thank you.”

Just warning you youngsters that Donald and his co-captain Mel Wallis will be joining us on Saturday… so watch out.

Friends, Peglegs, and Stuyvesant Hitmen . . . Join us for the ALUMNI GAME!
