Palm Springs Chill to Salute Gene Autry at Season Opener on Jan. 31 Contact: Amy Blaisdell Director of Communications City of Palm Springs (760) 323-8250 Jan. 26, 2009 Jackie Autry, the widow of “America’s Singing Cowboy” and former Palm Springs resident Gene Autry, will help the Palm Springs Chill salute her late husband – the man who first brought baseball to Palm Springs – during the team’s season opener this Saturday, Jan. 31. The Chill will take the field against the San Diego Surf Dawgs at 1 p.m. at Palm Springs Stadium, 1901 E. Baristo Road. Past and present members of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will be on hand, including Ed Herrmann, Clyde Wright and Jay Johnstone. Staff from the Autry National Center of the American West will also be in attendance. “Baseball and Gene Autry truly go hand in hand in Palm Springs,” Mayor Steve Pougnet said. “I urge everyone to come on out to the ballgame and salute the man who helped put Palm Springs on the map by first choosing our City as the place for Angels spring training so many years ago.” The Palm Springs Chill baseball team is part of a developmental winter league for professional players and prospects and is a division of POWER baseball – a collegiate summer league that plays in Palm Springs. The hope of the league is to polish players so that they will be ready to try out for major league teams during spring training. The Chill will be on the road during the week and at Palm Springs Stadium on Saturdays and Sundays at 1 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 students and seniors, and children under 3 are free.

Investments to expand the sports related venues for the greater Kanawha Valley as well as the state of West Virginia and surrounding states will have a two-fold benefit. Local residents will have access to first-rate venues for competition and exercise. Secondly, these venues can accommodate regional events that will attract visitors to Charleston bringing high caliber teams and their wallets. Well designed sports facilities along with strong marketing will benefit local athletes, businesses, and communities. This study provides the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) with an objective analysis and strategic advice in order to pursue alternatives related to expanding sporting events with a particular emphasis on youth participation.

Back Posted: July 12. 2007 12:00AM Bond at the ball field West Coast college teammates reunited in Utica UTICA — When college baseball players graduate, they often hope to play again with former teammates in the majors some day. Two teammates at Cal State Northridge probably never thought they would be playing together again in Utica, nearly 2,750 miles from their college home. "It's really cool getting to play with Paul (Wilson) on my team again," said Alex Bardeguez, a utility player for the Oneida Barge Bucs of the New York State League. "He's a great player." Bardeguez were teammates on the 2006 Cal State Northridge Matadors. It was Wilson's senior season and Bardeguez's junior season. While both players are now playing in the NYSL, they have taken very different paths in their playing career. Bardeguez, a Long Island native, began his college career at Villanova University, but transferred to Northridge after his junior season. He said he made the move because Northridge, in the Big West Conference, had more quality baseball than the Big East. Coaches have liked Bardeguez's skills as a utility player, as he has played first, second and third base as well as both corner outfield positions. His skills aren't limited to the baseball diamond. He was on both the Big East and Big West All-Academic teams while earning a degree in marketing.
