NIRL READY AND RARIN' TO GO
A new baseball league is coming soon to North Island... the North Island Recreation League is all set with 12 teams, ready and rarin' to go... tryouts were held at each of the area high schools and now the teams are well-stocked with many of the high school stars of yesteryear... the teams are filled to the brim with former diamond heroes and baseball hero wannabes... player ages range from 21 to 40... Albert Carnegie of the Kofa Kings (21) and Zachary Jones of the Theodore Bobcats (21) finished school in 1945 and are the youngest performers, while Kenny Cline of the Kinston Firebirds (41) and Paul Miller of the Wafford Eagles (40) are the oldest... Cline graduated from high school in 1925.

Games will be played each Sunday afternoon at the local parks... each town team has a 15-man roster, all chosen from the local high school alums... to play for a team you must be a graduate of that school... the season will last until almost October... the NIRL will begin play on March 5... there are two separate leagues: the NIRL First Division and the NIRL Second Division... the regular season will consist of 30 games... 15 home games and 15 away games... there will be no interleague play... the leagues will use a process common in soccer leagues abroad called Promotion and Relegation... at the end of the season the two worst teams in the First Division will be demoted or relegated to the Second Division, while the two top teams in the Second Division will be promoted to the First Division.
