The Star City Optimist Youth Foundation (SCOYF) has operated the Homer’s Heroes Baseball League for mentally and physically challenged youth ages 5-17 since 1992.  Players are divided into eight teams based on age and, beginning in June, play a six-game season on Saturday mornings; five at Lewis Fields across from Lincoln High and one hosted by the Lincoln Saltdogs at Haymarket Park’s Bowlin Stadium.  Each player bats, scores, and fields each inning.  If your group would like to provide “buddies” for these players on a Saturday, please check homersheroes1@aol.com for more information.  PLAY BALL!
The Star City Optimist Youth Foundation (SCOYF) helps coordinate the joint activities of Lincoln’s Optimist Clubs with the goal of providing opportunities for success to youth.  For more information, visit www.starcityoptimists.org.
