YALE BASEBALL SPRING 2017 / NEWS
From the Association Dear Yale Baseball Alumni and Friends, It’s hard to believe that we are in the middle of another Yale Baseball season! The Bulldogs are already in Ivy League play and have established a 3-1 record in the league after splitting a two-game series at Cornell and sweeping Princeton in New Jersey. The team hopes to build on the early success in the league and return to the Ivy League Championship Series. In this newsletter, you will hear from Coach Stuper and Richard Slenker, 2017 Bulldog Captain, about the excitement and enthusiasm around the Yale Baseball team. We hope that you will attend the Yale Baseball Alumni & Family Weekend on April 22, 2017 during what should be a very critical Dartmouth Series. We look forward to reconnecting with fellow teammates, friends, and coaches. If you cannot attend, I hope you will take the opportunity at some point throughout the season to catch the team in action either at home in New Haven or on the road near you. Your presence and support is an invaluable source of motivation and pride for the guys on the team and the staff. The Yale Baseball Association has much to celebrate and to be excited about. The key goal of the association is to support Yale Baseball and engage with alumni and friends and try to build meaningful relationships
with the program. While the most obvious aspect of that goal is fundraising but there are a number of other ways help enhance and strengthen the program. I ask that you consider supporting the team with a gift to the Yale Baseball Association this year. Your contribution makes the program run and enables the team to travel, train, and compete at the highest level possible. Gifts made by alumni, parents, and friends in the last year have made serious improvements to the facilities, equipment and travel experience of the team. Thank you for your past support and for your consideration of a gift this year. No gift is too small. Every dollar counts. There are multiple ways to show your support. Write a check payable to Yale University and mail it to Yale Baseball Association, P.O. Box 1844, New Haven, CT 06508-1844. Or, visit http://giving.yale.edu to pay by credit card and be sure to select ‘Athletics’ and ‘Baseball’ from the drop-down menus. And remember, all gifts to the YBA count towards your personal and class giving totals for your next reunion! Go Bulldogs! Adam Barrick ’06 Yale Baseball Association President
