Seattle Select Baseball Club’s U12 Silver Baseball team has been selected to play in the Cooperstown Dream Park and American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame Invitational Tournament. NY.

In August 2011 the team will be heading to Cooperstown to play on the “Field of Dreams” in a week long tournament, where they will not only compete with teams from around the country in at least seven games and will try to earn a spot into the single elimination championship tournament.

Every young boy dreams of playing in the “BIG GAME,” however few get the chance to fulfill their dream. Cooperstown, Field of Dreams, promotes a high caliber of play, with the goal to have young players experience the purity of baseball as it was meant to be.

Each year, the participants of the Cooperstown Dreams Park National Invitational Tournament, in honor of their accomplishments, regardless of outcome, are inducted into the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame. Much like the National Baseball Hall of Fame for major league baseball players, each participant, upon induction, receives the coveted American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame ring and officially becomes one of the Cooperstown Dreams Park Little Majors.

Cooperstown Dreams Park offers today's youth a chance to fulfill childhood dreams. We trust you will agree this is an opportunity of a lifetime. If you love baseball and kids, Cooperstown Dreams Park is an experience you won’t want these players to miss out on. It is a must for America's youth baseball players.

You can help these 12 young players, from Shoreline and surrounding communities, fulfill their dream, by making a donation of any amount. Your donation will help cover the cost of travel, tournament fees, housing and food for the team. Please send your generous donation to: Seattle Select Silver Team c/o Susan Riley, 816 NE 201st Street, Shoreline WA 98155. Checks made payable to Susan Riley, please write Seattle Select Silver in the Memo line. Every sponsor will receive a signed picture of the boys from the tournament.

Seattle Select U12 Silver Baseball Team thanks you for your time and generosity!
