World Class Baseball Coming To County
The Continental Amateur Baseball Association (CABA), the Gold standard of world-class amateur baseball is coming to Sullivan County with the addition of the Sullivan County Thunderheads 17 & under boys traveling baseball team's acceptance into the New York Elite Baseball league for the 2011 summer season.
New York Elite Baseball, now associated with CABA, is considered by many as the premier travel league in the Hudson Valley and is owned by Jay Storti who is also the director of operations and is the New York State Director of CABA.
The CABA launched the initial season in 1984 and is a more user-friendly youth baseball organization that provides more teams the opportunity to participate at the national level.
Hundereds of former CABA players have since gone on to play at the professional level including Alex Rodriguez and Todd Helton.
The CABA programs include sanctioned league play, world series events, national championship events.
Team General Manager Ed Townsend said this league and association brings a new and more structured class of boys traveling team baseball to Sullivan County.
Tryouts for the Thunderheads team will be held in the middle of April.
Home double-header games will be played Sunday's at City Field in Grahamsville and on the Livingston Manor Central School baseball field.
Team organizers stress that baseball players and parents must make a full commitment for team play and practice starting in the month of May and through the middle of August.
Boys interested in trying out for the team can contact Townsend at 845-439-8177 or by email at thunderheadsbaseball@gmail.com
