Tri-Village Little League

We hope all the dads had a terrific and happy Father's Day! Thank you for all that you do!

The competition we have seen the past two nights here in Bethlehem has been amazing. The kids were out in full force rooting for their friends last night and tonight. Championship Saturday is a few days away. Leeetttsss gooooo!!!

Congrats to this young man on hitting a home run in back to back games. Nice job Cam Oakley!!!

Terrific job by all of the players who participated in the Negro Leagues Wall of Fame today! We are excited and proud to share the hard work the kids put in. Throughout the day we saw many of you stopping by to take a look. It was great to hear kids sharing what they learned with each other! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and for taking the time to learn more about this often overlooked part of history.

A huge thank you to artist Leslie Perez @momartista for all the hard work and time spent providing these team posters for our Negro Leagues 101 celebration this past weekend!

What an awesome display for our Negro Leagues 101 celebration! Thank you to Sign Dreamers of the Capital District for their support!

One of the greatest to ever play our game. MLB Network mourns the passing of Hank Aaron.

Today we lost an icon. RIP Hank Aaron.

For months now the volunteer board members of Tri-Village Little League have engaged in many thoughtful and productive discussions regarding the issue of signage at Magee Field. Our Community Committee's initial proposal, a suite of signs that included Black Lives Matter, We Support the Bethlehem Police, TVLL for LGBTQ, and most importantly Together One Bethlehem, was brought to the board in order to symbolically demonstrate that supporters of multiple community-based groups... can co-exist responsibly and peaceably. However, almost immediately we discovered that despite our best intentions, the committee's proposal resulted in far more conflict and division within the Bethlehem community than we ever could have predicted or foreseen. On social media, we were branded "racists" by one group and "lunatic activists" by another. This did not deter us. We took the time and made the effort to reach out to those with strong opinions on the issue in order to understand their beliefs and concerns. We listened. We listened to our neighbors, our fellow parents, and our community members. As we listened we heard one common refrain: Actions speak louder than words. Coincidentally, this sentiment was underscored in a Times Union article, in which the mother of a Black Little League player commented that the drawn-out discussion/debate over signs had defeated the entire purpose. We agree. This evening, as a board, we unanimously voted to oppose the suite of signs at Magee Park. Not because we do not believe in the causes, or the passion of their supporters, but rather because we sincerely and genuinely believe that community action will have a more lasting and resonating legacy for our players, families, volunteers, and community. As a board we would like to share our commitment to the following community-based programs to be offered at Tri-Village Little League this spring and summer: implementation of a grant program that will allow families confronted with financial hardships to play at Magee free of cost, an equipment drive to benefit areas of the Capital District that may be less fortunate than our own, and themed weekends designed to recognize underrepresented groups in baseball, including a celebration of Negro League baseball and a "Women in Baseball" weekend. We encourage any and all community members to apply to join our board and assist us in helping even our youngest players to understand that being a proud and productive citizen is just as important as being an accomplished ballplayer. -Tri-Village Little League Board
