 GAMES ARE ON FOR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22nd AND TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26th.

Weather permitting, we will be playing softball tomorrow and on the Tuesday after Christmas. However, the City of Winter Haven is supposed to be working on three fields tomorrow. Therefore, there are only two fields available tomorrow and possibly Tuesday. We will adjust our playing fields as listed below:

The American League will hold batting practice on Field A. If enough players show up to play ball in the American League, they will play their game on Field A around 9:30 AM 

The National League will play their game on Field E around 9:30 AM. Depending on the number of players that sign up to play ball, we will have a two team or three-team game on Field E. If the American League does not have enough players to field two teams, the National League may use Field A at 9:30 AM.

Things may change between now and tomorrow morning. Make sure that you look at the website before coming to the ballpark tomorrow. 

Thanks,

Don Witmer, Commissioner

 HALL OF FAME TICKETS ON SALE

It is time to buy tickets to the Polk County Senior Softball Hall of Fame dinner that is to be held on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. This year we have the privilege to honor Chris Constantine and Loren Fabian from Winter Haven Senior Softball and Mike Cobb and Gerry DeRidder from Lakeland Senior Softball as they become members of the Hall of Fame. 

The Hall of Fame dinner will be in Winter Haven this year. This event will be held at the Frierson Nicholas American Legion Post 8 ballroom. The address is: 300 Avenue M Northeast, Winter Haven 33881. The Social will begin at 5:30 PM with a cash bar at the Legion where you can order and pay for your favorite drinks and help support the Legion. The Dinner will begin at 6:00 PM. After the dinner, the ceremony to induct the new members into the Hall of Fame will commence. The ceremonies should be over by 8:00 PM.

Ticket prices this year have increased to $25.00 per person. This is the first price increase in 15 years. Last year we kept the ticket prices at $20.00 and the Hall of Fame Committee agreed to pay the $3.50 additional cost of each ticket out of the general fund. The price of your ticket includes your meal and paying for the inductee's meal, HOF shirt, HOF hat and plaques. The Legion has graciously agreed to provide the venue at no cost. The Hall of Fame Committee expects this to be a break-even year due to all of the price increases that we have seen of the past year.

You can purchase your tickets from Don Witmer, Joe D'Herin, Ron Thompson, Tommy Hamilton or Steve Hill in Winter Haven. In Lakeland, you can purchase your tickets from JD Davis, Ron Lloyd, Larry Sweet, Regis Finnegan and Marty Martinez. Tickets should be purchased no later than the end of February so we can let the Caterer know how many people will attend.

Please show your support for the Hall of Fame program and for this year's inductees into the Polk County Senior Softball Hall of Fame by coming to the HOF Dinner on March 13, 2024.

Don Witmer, Treasurer
