Hello and welcome to this weeks insight into the personalities of the Wangaratta Rangers Baseball Club. The season is a week closer and good numbers were seen at training during the past week. This has pleased many of the Ranger faithful and let’s hope this week is the same. So get out your glove and come down to Targoora Park this week for a final run before the start of the season. What else has been happening? Keep reading and you may just find out.
Moose is raring to go.
Canadian import and all round sport star Bryan “Moose” Wilson roared into training on Wednesday night. From the get go Moose was throwing hit and diving doing it all. Kyle Gilmore tried to emulate Moose with a dive but seemed to just get stuck in the ground instead of gliding across it. Did Gilly get near the ball? Sort of…..
Position Vacant: Revenue Officer
Wangaratta Rangers is looking for a suitably qualified professional to look after the trip support fund. Your job will entail looking for revenue raising opportunities at each and every home and away game. You will be supplied with a suitably sized money tin to collect the revenue. You need to show a positive attitude to the collection of money and most importantly need to be fair on all involved. Please direct your interest towards Rob Seymour or Cam Scott for more details.
Wednesday night meals are back!
For the last couple of years food has been offered after training. This year is no different. Under the direction of master chef Kev Pool this week we have pie peas and mash on the menu. All for ten bucks and your first drink is included! Stick around after training talk some trash and have a great meal.
Welcome back Azza
It was great to see the return of another Ranger. Aaron “Azza” Parker is dusting off the cleats and the glove for his return to Ranger colours. In his time away from the game he has lost none of his talent and is another welcome addition to the Ranger roster. On another note Cam Scott will get the right phone number this week and hopefully bring big Mick Brownlie over for a throw and a chat too.
Facebook site for North Eastern Baseball
It is great to see a space has been set up for the North Eastern Baseball Association on-line on Facebook. It is hope that results are posted to the site after each game and other information can be sent out to all in the North Eastern Baseball community. It is envisaged that this can help all clubs grow their memberships and get more people involved and talking about baseball. So look up on Face Book North Eastern Baseball and like and share the page. Maybe Line Drive can pop up on there too!
Pooly’s been at it again.
New merchandise looks like it could be on the way this season. Not only new hats are in the pipeline thanks to Rob Seymour but Nathan Pool informed us that hoodies could be a goer for the season. This scribe has seen the proof and it looks pretty good. Black with the new Rangers logo or possibly cursive Rangers like what we have on our sweet playing tops. If you need a new playing top let the club know and this can be organized for you too. If you need hoop socks Cam “highsocksunday” Scott has some pairs left over from last year. They are $10 a pair.
