Play Ball

April 2010…..picture it….an umpire behind home plate points at the Richmond pitcher and yells, “Lets’ PLAY BALL!” What a great day that will be for Richmonders!  We have a lot of work to do as a community before that day, and April 2010 is not that far off. Let’s come together and ready ourselves for success.

It has been too long since we have been able to take our kids, our business associates, our friends and catch a ball game. Now that we have a guarantee that the dream will become reality we need to appropriately thank The Eastern League and the owner of the team that will play here for their efforts.

The purpose of this site is to roll out the red carpet for a major new business entity here in Richmond. We can do that by gearing up to purchase season tickets,  purchasing rights to the existing skyboxes, and making plans to have youth groups, church groups, and other community organizations planning outings to see  ball games next season.

As a special THANK YOU for being concerned and supportive of the return of baseball to Richmond, we’ve launched a special FREE “Supporters” space just for you!

You can log in, leave comments, add your thoughts to threads, and upload pictures and LOGOS of your business as a show of support for the team.  We’ll display the link to your company and a Profile page for you to provide your contact information (if you choose) as a networking service.

The idea is that we all support each other in the local community, with this being a logical extension:  help us welcome the new team in style, and we’ll provide a forum for your thoughts and your own personal space on the site.  See what posts you’ve commented on, explore new friendships with other supporters, and above all:  support each other’s businesses. Go here now and register for free!

Thanks for making Richmond a great place to play baseball.

All the best,

Charlie Diradour
