Coach Andrea Neal, currently an assistant coach with the Majors White Sox, looks back fondly at her playing days, beginning at age five with T-Ball through to competing as part of a 12U rep team at the 1996 national championships for a berth at the Little League World Series.

“The High Park area was a hot spot for female baseball players and there were enough quality ball players to field 10 teams throughout the years. Did you know that some of the mothers you see at the park everyday used to play at High Park? I think that shows so much about an organization that mothers are now signing their children up to play in a league that they once used to play in.”
