The final games of the YAO Baseball Tournament last Saturday saw the Blue Jays claim the championship title in the Rookie League. In the Little League playoffs, the Yankees took home the first-place trophy, while victory belonged to the Mets in the Senior League, after a tense battle against the Phillies.

A prize-giving ceremony followed the championship games, with trophies presented to the 360 participants from the 2009 season on Saturday, June 20, by Michelle Brock Jackson, vice president of group insurance at the Argus Group, which has sponsored the league since 1998.

Stefan Stecko, president of the YAO Baseball League, says the contribution from Argus is valuable to the league's success. "The sponsorship from Argus, now in its 11th year, means a great deal to us," he says. "It ensures that we are able to keep our fields up to acceptable standards, assist with travel expenses for overseas games and provide overall support to keep the league strong and successful."[[In-content Ad]]
