All Teams - All Games - Pick up Trash in Dugout, Stands, and Fields
We have a small but vocal group of neighbors that criticizes the League's every movement in the park to the City. Remind your players and families to properly dispose of their trash, but as manager you are ultimately responsible.
Please impress on your families that this is not a movie theatre or Dodger Stadium where a crew is paid to come sweep up after the crowd leaves. If they don’t do it, we all will have to do it and we have enough to do already.
