      Good info. I don't think out of town businesses should be eligible.

      I think Modells should be given special recognition for their support of Par Troy East Little League. They donated all the proceeds from their PTE clothing to the league.

      Barbara is right. Modell's spent a lot of money producing these shirts - and donated everything to the league. What's more - its store personnel spent 2-3 days selling the shirts and organizing things. Regardless of rankings, I hope that people shop at Modell's and let them know we appreciate what they did for the boys and their families.
