LEAGUE NOTES:

The AZMSBL lost a member of the family last Sunday. Jeff James loved the game of baseball and was an active player in the AZMSBL until health issues forced him to the sidelines. Back in the day Jeff roamed centerfield with the best of them and uhis speed at the plate and on the bases. 
Funeral arrangements have not been announced but his wife Denean and Jeff’s family are facing some difficult financial challenges in the days ahead. A Go Fund Me page has been set up and the link is attached on our website. Any help from the AZMSBL family would certainly be appreciated.
 
RIP Jeffrey!
