Shannon is still away do to real job commitments.I worked till 430 am this morning due to my real job and I know both he and I are shot. We will try our best today here on Mets Police.On to the post.
The Naugatuck Park and Recreation Commission will be hosting the third annual Pitch Hit & Run competition for boys and girls on May 1st at Naugatuck High School from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m.
The Pitch Hit & Run is the official youth skills competition of Major League Baseball and is sponsored by Aquafina. The competition is open to boys and girls ages 7 to 14 and participation is free.
There are four levels of competition beginning with the May 1st local contest with winners moving on to the sectionals, regionals, team championships (at a MLB ballpark) and finally the National Finals to be held at Citi Field in New York the site of the 2011 Major League All-Star game.
Thats cool. Always a special thing to play on a MLB field. I wonder if the Mets are going to try to sign any of the winners to a contract to replace some of the players coming of the books after this year.
You can read more here about the story.
Update: I missed this but ED Q. caught it.
Citi Field is hosting the 2011 All Star Game? Does Chase Field know? Is this like back in the day when they played 2 All Star Games?
Happens to the best of us now and then. Guess they meant the 2013 game.

OK, so the Naugatuck Patch editors need to proof their columns a little better.
