Since its formation by the MLBPA and MLB in 1999, BTF

Musco Lighting equipment to replace inoperable lighting to
increase 迴�eld availability and facilitate participation

Fund), Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball
Players Association, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund and

our project,” said Jennifer Barrett, Ewing Little League
board member.

Barrett Paving Co. and The Burns Landscape Group. The
Ewing Little League is still accepting in-kind and monetary
contributions. Those interested in donating to the project
