Vineyard Baseball Park
Managed by the Vineyard
Baseball Park Project Committee
The creation of a second full size baseball diamond on
Martha’s Vineyard had been conceptualized back in
2001. Thanks to the year-round volunteer efforts by the
Vineyard Baseball Park Project Committee, our Field of Dreams
is becoming a reality. The continual development of youth
baseball on the island is dependent upon the efforts of
these volunteers. The VBPP has fundraised and received enough
donated labor and materials to oversee construction of a
major league size baseball field complete with fencing &
irrigation. It is now time for phase two of the project:

2010 Vineyard Baseball, Inc. Banner Campaign
Vineyard
Baseball, Inc. would like to invite you to join our Banner
Campaign for the 2010 season. All funds generated
by the banners are used for maintaining the field.
With an annual budget approaching $10,000, Vineyard Baseball
Inc. would like to ask for your support by displaying a
Banner (representing your business) for the 2010 Baseball
season. Banners are posted on the outfield
fencing throughout the season and are viewed during all
field related activities, including the Summer Baseball
Fest and the 3rd Annual Cape Cod League game which will
be held on July 8th. The annual Banner
cost is $500 and checks should be made payable to Vineyard
Baseball, Inc. and mailed to the address shown above.
Artwork for your Banner must be in original PDF format.
Vineyard Baseball, Inc. will send you a letter of receipt
for tax purposes. However, if a banner
is not an option for you at this time, any support/contribution
to Vineyard Baseball, Inc. would be greatly appreciated.
Hope to see you at the games!
Thank you. For more information, call Gary Simmons at 508-989-8154
