Where are Merlin Whiteman Memorial and Lori Breen Fields?
You will notice some field names in the 2010 Tournament Schedule. Diamond 3 and Diamond 6 are dedicated to past WDTLL Volunteers who are no longer with us. Merlin Whiteman Memorial Field is the Little League "Stadium" diamond used primarily for the Major Baseball division. Diamond 4 was originaly dedicated as Lori Breen Field, but with the converfsion of the field to a skinned softball diamond the name has been transfered to Diamond 6, the home of the Major-Minor Baseball division.
To emphasize the dedication of these volunteers we have begun to use the field names in the place of diamond number for the tournament and you will see more extensive use of the names next season.
