GIBSONTON - Time is almost up for any young sluggers interested in playing ball for one South Shore organization this spring.

East Bay Little League will host the first of its last two on-site registration days Jan. 24 at Vance Vogel Park, 13012 Bullfrog Creek Road, the league's home field. Jan. 28 will be the last registration day at Vance Vogel Park and the last day players may register online for the upcoming season, which starts Feb. 28.

"Opening day is usually a really big thing for the kids and the parents," said Nicole Lynch, the league's registration director. "We're hoping to have a few [Tampa Bay] Rays players come out that day."

The league was founded in 1971 by south Hillsborough County residents and has averaged between 700 and 800 players each season. Its baseball players are ages 5 to 16, and softball players are between age 6 and 16.

The league's boundaries extend from the Alafia River to the Hillsborough-Manatee county line and from the Hillsborough Bay to Bell Shoals Road.

The cost for registration is $90 for T- ball and $135 for baseball and softball players.

For information, call (813) 677-2772 or go to www.eastbayll.org.
