SUMMER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
JULY 25-29, 2008
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

Dear Managers, Players and Fans:
       We wanted to thank everyone who participated in the inaugural 2008 USTBA Summer Nationals in San Diego, CA. this past week. The action on the field was awesome for the players, coaches, fans and spectators! This was the first year for the great event and this event will be hosted in the summer of 2009 in beatiful San Diego once again. Results and details for this great event can be found at the bottom of this results page. We sincerly hope that we provided a positive and enjoyful baseball experience for every one who participated with our organization this past week and during this past season. What a great country we are blessed to live in. Great beach weather, great baseball venues to play at, hanging out at the beach after the games and best of all being able to watch our kids play the game of baseball. It really does not get any better than that. What more can a fan ask for? Watching the great America pastime with family and friends. Best of all watching your favorite baseball hero doing their thing on the diamond. Life is good! What a great weekend of baseball!
