LMBA TEN/TWENTY YEAR AWARDS
As part of our 25th Anniversary season the LMBA will be handing out our Ten Year and Twenty Year Awards to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to our league. Over 200 individuals have been recognized for their efforts and the list can be found on our website – www.ballcharts.com/lmba under AWARDS.
The LMBA does not keep track of years involved so it is up to team managers and individual players to let us know – over time we have recognized players, coaches, managers, umpires, Executives, and others who have made significant contributions to our growth and development.
Several Executive members will be collecting names and distributing awards, so we are asking everyone to send names (please indicate Ten or Twenty) to the contacts below.

DEDICATION
WARREN Karsgaard
The Lower Mainland Baseball Association was greatly saddened by the passing of one of our original members, Warren Karsgaard on February 14, 2019. Warren was in attendance at a meeting sponsored by an American adult baseball group in July, 1994. When the group was unable to start up a recreational baseball league for adults, Warren and several others decided to start the Lower Mainland Baseball Association on their own. Warren, along with others, organized try-outs at Central Park in Burnaby, helped set up an Executive and served for several years as league registrar. His background experience in senior and youth baseball was invaluable to a group finding its way. For the next 24 years Warren participated as a player, manager, and Executive member and his contributions were significant in the growth and development of the league.
When original players were starting to “age out” of the 30+ Division, Warren worked closely with Ray Edger to start up a very successful 45+ division, thereby extending playing careers for everyone. Warren volunteered for 40 years in Richmond Minor Baseball and was deservedly recognized for his efforts by BC Minor Baseball, Richmond City Baseball, and the City of Richmond.
The Lower Mainland Baseball Association is proud to dedicate our 2019 season in memory of Warren Karsgaard.
A baseball life . . . . . well lived!

All players (even if they have played in the LMBA before) should make sure they are logged out of the LMBA website before creating a new account for the 2019 season. If a player wants to register for multiple teams they will need to create multiple accounts (one for each team). The same email address can be used multiple times, but each registration needs to be done separately. Players using old accounts to register for new seasons have caused issues in the past.
