For the 79th time the ITL season gets underway Memorial Day Weekend. Get a piece of small town Americana by taking in one of this weekend's three games. All four playoff teams from a year ago will be in action, including a rematch of last year's finals. The weather is going to be great, no better way to spend a day than at the ball park!
There is an upcoming fund raising effort for the John Ryan Pike Foundation that may be of interest to you. John was a great guy, talented musician, baseball lover and great friend to everyone he met. Please visit www.sticksman.org for more information about his memorial foundation.
Basically the event is a HR derby type thing. Baseball experience or talent is not a necessity so the players of the ITL should have some sort of advantage. Each participant will get 7 swings. Depending on where the ball lands on the field points will be awarded accordingly. A HR will be worth the most points, but you can score something for every hit. Each team will have 4 players, the team with the most points will win the event. There will also be music, food, other games, and lots of hanging out going on. Basically the event is to just get people together and have a good time.
Thank you all for coming to last Saturday's HOF event. Congratulations again to this year's inductees: Bill Bain, Herb Pomeroy, Martin Stone, & Ed Rock. Please join us again this Sunday as we start the regular season. Catch a game in Rockport or Beverly. Check the schedule to the right for all the upcoming games and events.
The season is right around the corner, it is time to get together and celebrate. Please join us at Woodman's this Saturday night from 7-10pm as the ITL inducts new members to the Hall of Fame and kicks off the start of the 2008 season. All current and former members of the ITL are encouraged to come as well as friends and family. See you there.
The 2008 ITL season will mark the return of official league scorers. Our goal is to provide up to date league leaders and statistical information to our players and fans. We feel this will increase competition and really bring more interest to the league.
Calling all current and former Players, Umpires, & Fans of the ITL. Please join us as we kick off the 2008 season by inducting former players and fans into the ITL Hall of Fame. Catch up with old teammates (or rivals), share some stories, and check out some league memorabilia. Last year's event was great, but we hope even more will attend this year. Here are the details:
The Generals' Chris Judd Pitches against the Beverly Giants in 2007.
New to this site is the complete list of ITL Hall of Famers. It can be found at the bottom of this page. As a league we are in the process of reviewing candidates for 2008 induction. If you would like to have a former player, umpire, or friend of the league considered for the 2008 induction class please provide the committee with some information by emailing:
