I’ve been part of the VPBBC family since 2018, when my son first started Little League, but my connection goes back even further. I grew up around the club in the ’80s when my dad played, so baseball has always been part of my life. These days I look after the club’s Xero accounts, score games, and you’ll often find me around the grounds cheering on my son and lending a hand wherever it’s needed.
