LEAGUE MESSAGE

Jason Rivero has been appointed Interim 24 Div Commissioner for the 2021 Season. We feel Jason's experience will be a great asset to the CNMSBL.

It is with great sorrow that we make this announcement.  On the evening of Jan 6th Player Personnel Director and 24 Division Commissioner Mark Horwitz passed away at his home. In losing Mark, the CNMSBL lost one of its best ambassadors as well as a great teammate. Our heartfelt condolences and Prayers go out to Mark's wife Michelle as well as all of the Horwitz family.  Mark most recently was the manager of the 24 Aces and a member of the 34 A's.  Many of you may know Mark from participating in the annual league tryouts and draft as well. Mark was a great sounding board for me and his love and loyalty to the league was surpassed by no one.  He will be greatly missed. From this day forward, the 24 Division will be known as the "Mark Horwitz" Div. MARK IRWIN HORWITZ MEMORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS DYBA  (Deerfield Youth Baseball Assoc, a C501-3) P.O.
