My name is Shawn Edwards and I am the League President for Midlands baseball.  I had a vision of reliving my youth and finding a league to play baseball that didn't interfere with my coaching my son's team.  I couldn't even find a league.  So I googled adult baseball and came across The NABA(National Adult Baseball Association).  Yet still, we didn't have a league out here.  So, I made the ultimate decision to start one....and here it is.  How many of you have dreamed of lacing up the cleats and going out there and playing a great nine innings of baseball?
          I just want to let all potential players, coaches and hopefully in the future, commisioners know that I am here for you.  I want this to be as fun and as exciting as it was when we were younger playing baseball.  I am an avid fan of the game and have good working knowledge on how to run a team and an organization. 
          I believe that we can make this a success in our inaugural season and grow to have many tournaments and send some of our own teams to national tournaments.  This league will work with communication and also input from all aspects of the league-from players and coaches, right up to the fans that watch.
           I will always be readily available to speak with anyone in the league and I can be reached one of two ways.  By email, at SEleaguepresident@sc.rr.com or by calling me at 803-708-2597.  Someone in my house should answer the phone if I don't, but if it isn't me, please leave them your name, call back number and a brief description on what you wanted to talk about and I will return your call that day.  If you happen to get the voice mail, do the same as if you were talking to a live person and I will also return your call that day.
            Over the next week or so, I will be looking for fields for us to play at and getting that process started as well as putting up posters around the area.  If you have any suggestions for fields, please don't hesitate to call me.  I want to try to make your commute to games as minimal as possible as I know most, if not all, of you have families that you want to spend time with as well.
             Once again, I am very excited to be your League President and look forward to meeting and serving all of you.  If you are reading this for the first time, and want to join our league, please contact me.
 
                                     For America's Favorite Past Time,
                                            
                                                Shawn Edwards
