GAMES ARE ON IN POINCIANA TOMORROW, TUESDAY, MARCH 17TH. 

We are playing ball in Poinciana tomorrow. The Board of Directors has decided to end the season a little early and play pick up ball for anyone that wants to come to Poinciana. Most of our Canadian friends are heading back to Canada. Some Canadian Insurance companies have told them their insurance will not be good due to the "Pandemic" that has been declared by the CDC and the border from the USA may be closed soon. The ones that I played with in Lakeland today said they are leaving tomorrow. This will impact the "team" makeup.  Also, I do not want anyone to feel they are obligated to come to the ball park because their TEAM is playing. We have great people who will not miss a game if their TEAM is playing. If their are no teams, they just might not feel obligated to be at the ball park. 

We do not know what is going to happen beyond tomorrow. The County may decide, like other Counties and Cities have, that no organized sports will be allowed for a while. The CDC's crowd standard has been lowered to 50 people from 250 people. In this fluid environment, there are changes every day. Right now, we will be playing Friday in Poinciana. If that changes, I will let you know as soon as I can. 

Lets be safe out there. If you are not feeling well, don't come to the ball park. Be sure to wash your hands frequently. Don't expose yourself to unnecessary risks if you have neighbors or friends that have traveled outside the Good Old USA. We will do away with the customary hand shake after the game. Prayer Circles are welcome. Have fun. 

See you tomorrow in Poinciana.

Don Witmer, Commissioner
