May Long Mixer a Success!

The Abbotsford Angels Mosquito Division kicked off the May Long Weekend with a Casual pick up game of baseball at Lions Park with representation from many of our ten spring teams. We had Mosquito players from the Cubs, Dodgers, Expos, Royals, White Sox, Pirates, Cardinals, Red Sox and even two Tadpole 2 call-ups and a T-Baller.

We ran this “Schoolyard” style by throwing all the gloves into two piles to select teams and then we went to work playing a fun game complete with DJ Aaron Pelletier entertaining the crowd from the Lions Park Tower.

This was a “come and go as you please” event so we didn’t get an official headcount but at one point I counted 22 Mosquito players out there all determined to keep playing baseball through this short break in the regular season.

Mosquito Head Coaches Steve Coleman, Jose Siguenza, and Richard Szmutko hosted this event and enjoyed every minute of it.

We ended the day with these players by reminding them that, although we are all wearing different logos on our shirts we are ALL Abbotsford Angels!  Player Breandan McLaughlin finished up this post-game talk by yelling “Angels on Three!” and the resounding “1, 2, 3 ANGELS” was loud and full of Angel Pride.
