Josh Anderson Memorial
June 23-June 28, 2006
Welcome to the 18th Annual Josh Anderson Memorial Tournament. This year’s tournament will once again be filled with excitement and quality, competitive baseball. The tournament will take on an entire new look for the 2006 competition. We have added two new teams (the Midwest Wolverines and Santa Rosa Connie Mack), which should help improve the field of teams. Coach Powers and the baseball program at the University of Nevada have completed their stadium improvements. They have installed field turf and lights which makes Peccole Park one of the best baseball stadiums in the United States. With the addition of lights, all the games of the Josh Anderson Tournament will be played at Peccole Park.
The tournament is without a doubt one of the most prestigious tournaments on the west coast. With teams from California, Nevada, Washington, Colorado and Kansas, many of the best players in the country have been highlighted throughout the tournament’s history. Many of the tournament alumni are now playing either in the major leagues, the minor leagues, or collegiate baseball.
In last year’s championship game, Chaffey Baseball Club recaptured the tournament title from the always strong, Danville Hoots. The entry fee for this year will be $450 per team. This tournament fee will help defer umpire costs, baseballs, programs, and other miscellaneous costs that it takes to run the tournament. Please make the check out to RENO KNIGHTS BASEBALL CLUB. There are a couple of different options for hotel rooms if you choose to use them. Please contact Peggi Gold at Rope Marketing. This year there is a choice between the Reno Hilton or the El Dorado Hotel-Casino. Many teams like staying at the Reno Hilton because of the many activities/restaurants for the players to do. The El Dorado Hotel Casino is a family owned hotel that have been huge supporters of our baseball programs throughout the years. See the flyer attached. Please understand you don’t have to use either option, you can obviously stay at whatever accommodations you like. We are just providing you with an option for your convenience. Some teams choose to use it, others do not.
We really appreciate all the teams that continue to come back to Reno and play in this fine tournament. Some of your organizations have been coming since the tournament started and that is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Pete Savage
