Comments: Re: Tebbets field
It appears that your writer <Cyndi Lane> and Manatee Twisters 8U neglected to mention the very organization that has spawned such "great talent." That organization is Manatee Girls Softball, located at Palma Sola Park, Bradenton,FL. This is the "home field" for Manatee Twisters 8U, Manatee Twisters 10u, Manatee Twisters 16U, etc... I just thought I would give Manatee Girls Softball some credit, as it is due. None of the "Manatee Twister" teams would exist without backing from their "home organization." After all, it is "all about ALL the girls" isn't it?

Comments: In a letter from Bradenton resident Frank Grasso, he lists his "credentials" for voicing his opinion that today's Pine Avenue is the best Main Street a town can have. We have credentials too.
We too have been "around the world" and have seen beaches from the North China Sea to the Baltic Sea to the Caribbean Sea. The little city that was Anna Maria, where we raised our family is disappearing. Our little city is on the verge of becoming like so many other sea side towns; polluted with hokey "historical" tourist traps, overpriced sovenier shops, advertising banners and neon signs.
Actually, Mr. Grasso makes my point. Anna Maria is a tranquil residential town. Pine Avenue is a circus atmosphere.

Subject: Trolley Driver "BETH"
Comments: The other morning at the Manatee Beach Restaurant parking lot I locked my keys in my car...while standing at the side of the road thinking of how to get back home to get a spare key, a trolley came along and stopped to pick me up. I explained to the driver (BETH) that I was not waiting to be picked up..I was simply thinking what to do next (call a cab..too expensive as I live in the vicinity of Cortez Road and 41), she made a suggestion which I accepted...she took me down to Coquina Beach where I picked up an MCAT bus #6 that dropped me off close to my home, I picked up my spare key, took the same bus back to Coquina where I met BETH to take me back to Manatee Beach to get my car....I had time to visit with Beth and discover what a very nice lady she is...she helped me through this situation above and beyond the call of duty....you are fortunate to have such a person...please commend her for me...Thank you...Pat Faragon

Comments: The field will acutally be used for an orgainized game on February 18th. We are holding our first annual Pros vs. Girls Charity Softball Game Saturday, February 18th at Birdie Tebbetts Field, on Holmes Beach in Anna Maria Island. This event will feature a mix up game of current and former major and minor league players, SFC softball players and Manatee Counties very own Twisters 8U girls.
Some of the pros in the line up are Jose Bautista, the American League two time homerun leader (2010 &2011) from the Toronto Blue Jays and Marco Scutaro from the Colorado Rockies.
All proceeds will go to two wonderful women’s charities; The Women’s Resource Center of Manatee and the Manatee Twister 8 and under traveling team. Both organizations strive to promote women and young girls to be positive, strong and independent.
This article was very interesting to me since I am new to the island and I have used to field to practice softball with my daughter. It is a beautifully maintained field and thought it was also a nice place for the dogs. There has to be a compromise.
