A New Look For Baseball In The Baldwin Whitehall Area

The GBWAA and the Pittsburgh Tigers are proud to announce a new partnership for the 2008 season. The Tigers will be representing the Baldwin Whitehall area at the 13 and 14 yr Pony levels in the highly competitive Western Pa Elite Travel League. In addition, the Tigers play in 6 to 8 AAU tournaments throughout Western Pa, Ohio and West Virginia.

We feel we have a unique situation in Baldwin Whitehall. We are the first AAU program to support the kids from one school district only. In partnership with the GBWAA, the Tigers have teams at the 13 & 14 yr levels. These players support the local teams when they are not competing in the West Penn Elite league.

The Tiger coaches pick players that have excelled at the all star level in previous years. We are also interested in the player that may yet to develop physically but shows potential. The Tigers pride themselves in being a teaching organization. In addition, the GBWAA offers traditional West Penn Travel games as well as local Pony league games for players not competing at the Tiger level.

This is a new concept in local baseball. Players no longer have to go looking for AAU teams and leave their local association. We have the complete package right here in our community. The Tigers represented by President Casey Chrisman and Vice President George Tripson have worked with Sam Palermo, President of GBWAA and Vice President Ken Koslowski, to develop this unique program in the Baldwin Whitehall area.

Kids: We Need Your Artistic Talents

The New GBWAA is in Need of a Logo

In recognition of the New GBWAA formation, we would like you to create a new logo for the league.

How it Works

  • Create a design that you think best suits the GBWAA, the premier recreational baseball and softball league in the Baldwin-Whitehall community. Be sure to use the colors of purple, black and white.
  • Entries must be original work and can be hand drawn or computer generated.
  • Submit your entry to your manager anytime during the season or e-mail your drawing as PDF, GIF, JPG, or TIF to mcrough72@verizon.net. Be sure to include your name and phone number.
  • The winning entry will be announced at the end of season picnic. The winner will receive a free 2009 registration and a $50 Gift card for Dick's sporting Good.

So get those creative minds working. We hope to see some tough competition!
