Big League Baseball signups underway Signups are now being taken for 16-, 17-, 18- and 19-year-olds for Big League Baseball in the south metro Atlanta counties, including Fayette, Coweta and Henry counties. Players must be 16 years old by July 31, 2004, and can be no older than 19 on that same date. Teams formed will be traveling teams and will play in Fayette, Coweta and possibly other south metro counties. The 16-game schedule begins Sept. 7 and runs through the end of October. Games will be doubleheaders on Sundays, with the potential for some Saturday games, at various locations in the metro area. Players must provide their own transportation to and from practices and games. Last fall the league registered 14 teams and expects a similar turnout again this fall. Registrations will be accepted for both individuals and teams. Individuals signing up will be placed on teams with other players from the local high school or geographical area. The Big League program just finished a successful spring, summer and All-Star season. Eight local area teams participated in the spring and summer programs and will send two All-Star teams to the Big League state tournament in Peachtree City July 16-17. One of the two teams will advance to the Southern Regional Tournament July 26-28 in Clearwater, Fla. For more information and to sign up, go to www.eteamz.com/ga4llb or contact Linda North, district administrator, at 770-487-8081. Registrations need to be completed no later than Aug. 15. Registrants must show a certified copy of a birth certificate and legal proof of residency.
