Breaking News
Let's
Play 2 Classic
Wrigley Field
September 26-27
Dear Players,
We have just returned from an unbelievable 2 days
at Wrigley. Check out the pictures and more importantly check out the comments by the players listed below ..........
But as of today we are still some spots
short of having our second event there late next month. I know of lot of you are on the fence. I will not be reducing the
price, but to make it more attractive to you, I will let you pay in 3 installments of $500. Pay when you register, when you
show up at the event and the final payment December 1. The cut off for this is this Sunday August 29th. After that we will
actively pursue public sale with several prominent sports marketing agencies......We'd rather bring you........
I can't tell you in words how great playing
there was this past Monday and the satisfaction we got from the overwhelming response of the players who got the chance to
play there.
I know it's
pricey, but not one player when asked in the survey about the value for the fee he paid, complained.
It is an iconic ballpark...............be part of
it Put your uniform on in the historic visitor's clubhouse and play the last home games at Wrigley for the 2010
season and watch a great baseball rivalry the day before as the Cards battle the Cubs.
Don't miss out on this great opportunity.................Greenie

Read
what players from
The day was perfect and the "friendly confines" were
great. Scott Green puts on the best baseball events in the U.S. This is a "must do" event for anyone who loves the
game of baseball. It was first class all the way. It was a priceless experience. Scott Becker, St.Paul, MN 
For me, it was like a Career/Lifetime Achievement
Award experience---having paid my dues as a baseball lifer in venues all over the country, THIS was by far the topper. Unforgettable.
I will cherish it forever. - Dave Schultz Chicago
Greenie has genuine passion for his profession and he does it very well and with a smile. Can't ask
for much more than that... - Tim Steele, MINN..
AWESOME - J. Lavelle
Unbelievable. The best baseball experience of my life.
Scott and Liz,
I wanted to thank both of you for making the Wrigley Field experience possible. I know you
both worked very hard to make this happen and I really appreciate everything you do, and allowing me to be part of Play at
the Plate. - Jerry Harris Huntsville, Alabama
This was an amazing event. I have been playing twenty years in adult baseball leagues
and tournaments This was by far the highlight of my baseball playing life. Thank you again for following through and putting
this event together. Great job. You should be very proud of what you were able to accomplish. - Regards, Joel Fealk Commerce
Township, Michigan
It
was everything a true baseball player could ask for. From game tickets to clubhouse access to tour of the facility to the
ultimate of playing not one but two games at Wrigley Field. Everyone who was there, including guests who watched, shared the
special feeling of the day. - Steve Bergida
It
was a chance of a lifetime. - Thanks Brad Seto
I got everything that I was promised and everything that I expected. I
would recommend this event to anyone who loves baseball.
-
David Montgomery Bradenton, Florida
All in all, this was an incredible opportunity and
experience that I will not only never forget, but that I will one day brag to my kids and grand kids about. The tournament
was run very well and the staff at the stadium was absolutely incredible. I look forward to seeing what tournaments the future
has to offer. Thanks again! - Jason Haspel NYC
Just a wonderful event, with great guys, the organ player
was the icing on the cake and getting some hits was fun, too. thanks for letting me manage, I think the guys felt I was fair.
- Paul Laubenstein Massachusetts
I guess it was a miracle that you got the Cubs
to open the door. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the fun.Life has it's little twists and turns.. and I'm
glad I could come and compete.
I've already marked Bradenton on my Feb vacation calendar.
- Norm Nefsky Toronto
Canada
It was great to be able to play on the field and share in it's history. That is the overwhelming attraction to
me, the long history. You read baseball history and Wrigley is in many chapters. Think the Cubs treated us with respect and
that made the experience even better. - Tom Scopac New Jersey
One of the best sports experiences of my life, and I have a pro sports background.
- Skip Probst Chicago
Overall, great experience. I have been fortunate to have worked in
the major league sports industry (Chicago White Sox) and worked in many stadiums. I have seen / experienced things that many
fans never see unless you actually are a player or a front office employee. This will be one more special sports moment in
my life.
As a child, our father was a big Cubs fan and a wanna be baseball player. He coached our teams for years. We
inherited that same passion for the game. My brother turns 50 next week and this was his gift to himself. He asked me to participate
and it will be a great memory for us to have together. I looked at the pictures we took and it brings back all the emotion.
Thanks for organizing, it was great. - D. Wielgus
Being there with my son and son-in-law to take in something that will never forget is hard to put in words. Our hugs and
smiles told it all. Several of the players said to me after they learned that I had brought my boys, "Wow, what a great
idea, I should have done the same" Perhaps that should be mentioned in future promotions. Ron Willett, Baton Rouge LA
I was able to take the field at a great historic ballpark and play a game I love with
friends and family. Words cannot express how enjoyable the experience was, and how much fun I had!

Pro Ball Baseball Clinic
Play at the Plate Discount
As
some of you know, the Pro Ball Baseball Clinic sold out this past January. We had 72 players, 12 professional coaches
(including Yankees hitting coach, Kevin Long), 4 fields, 12 hitting tunnels, 3 full-time BP pitchers and video analysis.
Pro Ball is a 4-day instructional clinic specifically designed for the older player. There is no other adult
camp like it. It is not a fantasy camp. This is 4 days of personalized instruction from some of the best coaches in the
Major Leagues. If you want to improve your baseball skills, this is the camp to come to. Because of the great
response, there will be 2 Pro Ball Baseball Clinics this year, based on skill level. The "Advanced Skills"
camp is December 16-19, 2010 at the Texas Rangers Complex in Surprise, AZ. Our usual "Fundamentals" camp will
be Jan 14-17, 2011 back at the Padres complex. Note the dates for the January camp are Friday-Monday to include
MLK day (for those who want to bring their sons over 14 years of age). I thought most guys would only miss 1 day of work
that way and if you bring your sons, they'll only miss 1 day of school. The whole idea behind having
the 2 camps is to maximally improve everyone's baseball skills over the 4 days of camp. This is not an ego thing.
Please don't think going to the January camp is some kind of negative commentary on your ability to play the game.
It is not. I have spoken to the coaches about dividing guys up according to skill and they wholeheartedly agree that
everyone benefits most by grouping players by their baseball abilities. I know that this December and next
January sound like it's far off because, well, it is... But, we sold out last January and with word of mouth spreading,
I think we will sell out again. If you plan on coming to one of the camps and you want to save some money. There is a $200 "Play at the Plate" Discount for first time participants if you register on-line
at http://www.pro-ball.com/ and get in your deposit before March, 31, 2010. If you have not attended the clinic before and want to go to
the Advanced Skills Clinic in December 2010, please call me first before you register.
I want
to make sure that the December clinic is the right one for you. If you want to contact players who have attended the clinic
to get their take on it, I'd be happy to provide you with some names and email addresses. I think it's best
that you hear from them. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. John Rubinow, M.D. Pro Ball Baseball
Clinics http://www.pro-ball.com/323-333-8798
