Welcome to CheckSwing, Roger! I wish I lived closeer as I'd love to be able to play ball in the winter. Living in MA is tough during the winter. If I ever find myself out that way I'll definitely drop you a line.

Take a look around the site... among other things, you can customize your own page, upload photos and videos, blog, and create group and team pages.

Will you invite your teammates and coaches to join? Just click here to do so. The more ballplayers the better!

Enjoy the site and have fun!
