Following the success of Baseball Victoria’s Take the Pledge to Respect Umpires campaign, Fitzroy Baseball Club was drawn as the lucky winner of the $250 Ausport Superstore gift voucher.
Take the Pledge is an initiative introduced earlier this year aimed at encouraging everyone to treat umpires with the respect, kindness and courtesy they deserve. As part of this effort, Baseball Victoria teamed up with Ausport to offer an entry into the gift voucher drawing for any clubs, charters and associations that signed their pledges and sent in a photo.
Thank you to all the members of the Victorian baseball community who showed their support and took the pledge:
We look forward to a bright future for Victorian baseball as we continue to promote respect for umpires.
