Reserve starts practice May 20

Spring training for this year’s edition of the Wasco Reserve begins Wednesday, May 20, at the baseball diamond on Poso Drive and Poplar Avenue.

The Reserve colors are maroon, Columbia blue and black, with that uniform accompanied by black shoes, socks and belt, according to team manager Bill Moore.

Housing is not needed during spring training; however, once the regular season begins, the Moore will attempt to pair players with host families.

The Reserve’s schedule in the league allows current college players to have have another season in uniform.

“Do you plan to go back to school or do you want to come to Wasco and play with us?” Moore asks his prospects. “I would like to know what you plan to do ASAP. I would like to have you make a firm commitment now so I know where our ball club stands now.”

Moore also said that if they get a better career opportunity, he is thrilled to release them. If not, he will continue to communicate with the players.
