Welcome to the June 23rd issue of The Blue Crews News! Robert’s on vacation with his family this week, so I’m subbing in to make sure we get this edition out to all of you!
In this edition, we start with Mr. Maher’s presidential message (see his message here)! He’s wrapping up the scholastic season and kicking off the summer with some very helpful suggestions for success, both on the field and off.
Gary Reals takes this edition off because after figuring out how to write nice things about me, I can only imagine that he needs to rest or take a full- fledged vacation! 🙂 He will be back next issue with a fun profile, it’s already in and it’s really good. Gary has been consistently ahead of the curve in bringing us his umpire profiles and it’s greatly appreciated!
Paul Porto is chiming in about the Potomac League! Paul breaks down the rules including things that aren’t on every field like the double first base and video review! After further review, the call STANDS! Read the rules here and download a PDF.
We have a surprise contribution from Chef Marcus May for those of you who get hungry and want to do a little cooking either after you’ve worked your games or for that long summer day that Dave mentions in his message. It’s a recipe for Caramel Chicken and it’s one that anyone can make! Get Your Recipe!
Lastly, we have an anonymous contribution about Crew Consultations. We are the third team on the field and if the players and coaches from both teams can have conferences, well we can too!
