Help your team out! Encourage your friends and family to donate online. The team that
raises the most money before the game gets to pitch a kickball to the other team during
the game for an easy out—and kids in King County win.
Hit the batting cage…we hear every year that players wished they did this.
Dig out your favorite baseball glove (and bat if you’ve got one!) and bring it Saturday.
Get a good night’s rest and be on time Saturday.
