Dear TOLL Families,

We hope this email finds you and your loved ones safe and well.  This has been a time unlike any other, challenging us and forcing all of us to stop and readjust our lives, in many ways we never thought possible.

When the Covid-19 situation began to unravel, few of us would have thought we’d be in the situation we are currently facing.  The absence of baseball at the time seemed impossible, but as the weeks have gone on, the calendar marching forward, we’re now faced with a situation that we know is much bigger than baseball and out of our League’s control. 

Consequently, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to officially cancel the spring 2020 TOLL season.  This is despite the positive feedback from our families for a summer league and an airtight return-to-play safety plan that accounted for all protocols and protections. The Board also undertook deeper discussions with local and Government Officials, but in-step with what other area Leagues have also faced, we have arrived at this unavoidable conclusion.  We tried everything we could, and the entire Board has given it their all, but the inevitable conclusion is that we just cannot play baseball with the conditions that we face at this moment.

I, as well as the board and all the committee members, are deeply saddened by having to end our 2020 season. We will continue preparations for the spring 2021 season, ensuring everything is ready for when we can finally get back to baseball. We can’t wait to see all the happy, eager-to-play faces back on our fields.  It won’t be long before our outfield crowds are taking in a beautiful day; whilst the Snack Shack, with smiling faces, serves up one of the best cheeseburgers in town.  We miss all of you, the familial energy and community spirit you bring to our fields. 

The early conclusion of a season is extraordinary, and it brings about questions that require answers to be carefully considered and evaluated, taking into account the current state of the League and the future impact of all decisions.  The Board of Directors takes none of this lightly and must strike that balance.  Bearing that in mind, we invite you to visit our FAQ page for answers to the many questions that you may have.   

Baseball will be back.  We will be back.

Sincerely,

Alan Thompson, President and the Board of Directors
