The Louisville Bats team is a competitve traveling team through East Louisville Sports which is based in Middletown's Crosby Park.

The Louisville Shockers is a competitive team that is not affiliated with a league but is a local team started by Tony Wagner honoring his late brother Andy who played for the original Shockers.

Tommy and his new team will play locally and in away tournaments.  "He loves the Louisville Bats and his favorite team is the Reds. He is hoping to make the Crosby baseball team next year and then hopefully go on to play at Eastern. It would be a family dream if he can play ball at UK. This family loves baseball!"


Winding Up!

Arm Back!

Right to the catcher!

The Woodland Hills city council thinks that Tommy was a great kid to represent our city.
Way to go Tommy! We couldn't be more proud!
