THE
HISTORY OF PYBA
The Pittsfield Youth Baseball Association was organized in 1981 and
incorporated as a not-for-profit on August 12, 1982 by a group of
individuals who thought that it was important for Pittsfield youth
to play baseball by the same set of rules and guidelines under safe
conditions. PYBA strives to provide the youth of Pittsfield with
baseball, softball and soccer programs not otherwise provided in the
community. Its mission is to instill in the youth of Pittsfield the
ideals of good sportsmanship, loyalty, courage and reverence, so
that they will grow to be good, strong and healthy young men and
women. More History of the PYBA...
RENOVATION AND ENLARGEMENT PROJECT
In 2003 PYBA purchased an adjacent piece of property so that a
regulation size Babe Ruth Field with 90-foot base paths could be
constructed for use by 13-16 year olds. This upgrade has been a
dream for many years but the expense and time required to raise such
large sums needed have made it impossible to accomplish. Nearly all
of the funds that are raised annually go towards upkeep of the
present fields and equipment for the more than 300 children who play
baseball, softball and soccer there each year.
The three existing fields will be raised about three feet with earth
moved from where the fourth field will be constructed. They will be
graded so that water will run off of them rather than collect in
pools making play difficult and unsafe, as is now the case.
