Starting Saturday, March 13, Oyster Bay Little League Baseball will hold its spring training and player evaluations for the 2004 season. Following Little League Baseball's guidelines, every registered player will be placed on a team and play during the games throughout the season. The purpose of these sessions is not at all to make "cuts" but rather to provide the most equitable distribution of players on each team and ensure each player is playing in the division that fits them best so they will get the most learning benefit from the season. With that in mind, players should try to attend at least one of the sessions. FULL STORY
