Elio Heronimo President and members of the organizing committee for the Latin American Senior Baseball League Championships announced that Aruba expects to welcome delegations from eleven members of the conference as hosts of this major sports event.
Winners of the Latin American Senior League Championships will be eligible to compete in the Senior League World Series taking place in Bangor, Maine in August. Players are between the ages of 14 to 16 and the games will begin on Aruba on July 17 until the 25th.
Three ball parks around the island will be deployed for the competitions. The inaugural game will be at the Winston Ballpark in Macuarima, the other two stadiums include Joe Laveist in San Nicolas and Dragon Hitters in Barcadera.
Delegations from Bonaire, Curaçao, St. Maarten, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Panama, Domincan Republic and the U.S. Virgin Islands will begin arriving on July 15. They will face off against two home teams from Aruba, the defending Latin American Champions from last year.
Committee members mentioned how proud they are of the accomplishments of the Aruba team, which came in second in the World Series 2009, and how important it is for islanders to support their teams during the Latin American Championships.
Tickets for the games are only 5 Arubian florins for adults, and 2 florins for children ($2.85 and $1.20, respectively) and hope to see local residents filling the bleachers to cheer on their players.
It was also mentioned that members of the committee will offer free clinics for those wishing to become involved with Little League as umpires beginning on August 23.
