Christopher Burnham WoodwardApril 16, 1949 – July 30, 2015

Chris passed away unexpectedly while on a business trip in Connecticut. In his usual routine, he went for a morning run, after which he passed away from a heart attack.

Chris, umpired for NOLL/SOLL with a long history
of volunteer service. He worked 15 games this year with his last game being a Seniors game on June 30, 2015 at Front Caldecott with his son Alex. All of us in NOLL/SOLL who had the pleasure of working with him knew him to be a fine umpire with a wonderful disposition – nothing could disturb him – he made his partners better umpires just by working with them.

We share our condolences with his family and remember with fondness his dedication and spirit to helping in our mission.

Bat regulations are always changing, but here are some simple guidelines… For Majors and below, players must use a 2.25″ bat (also called small barrel), with a 1.15 BPF logo on it. Composite bats have to be approved by LL.
