Where did my money go? (2011 season)
We supply 6 new balls and 4 decent quality used balls for each game. The average game loses 3-4 balls, and of the remaining 6-7, two or three are no longer game quality so only
the remaining 3 or 4 go into the "used" pool for future games. Non-quality used balls are available to managers upon request for practice.
Baseballs currently run $51.72 per dozen (now taxable on top of the $48 per dozen price for the last several years) in lots of 30 dozen or more from MABL. Note: Price jump for 2012 too - up to $57.02 with price increase by Rawlings. Getting close to $5 per ball after $4 per ball cost a couple years ago.
Other current costs are:
Insurance is $200 per team.
$120 per game for umpires. $60 plate/$60 bases
Sinsheimer is $23 per hour plus $21 per hour for lights. 1 prep per day is included. Aditional preps are $37.
Cuesta is $42.15 per hour. Preps are furnished by college ball team in appreciation of annual donation (included in field costs).
Porter (seldom available) is $20 per hr plus $20 hr for lights. All preps are $35 each aditional.
City preps are not always available and we hire preps out.

======
5,709 carryover to 2012 (5,709.67)
NOTES:
(1) $5408 revenue collected for national registration (208 players @ $26 each) and sent to New York in full is not reflected in statement.
Other $9 per player ($35 total) is shown as insurance surcharge income.
(2) net misc income includes revenue less costs not shown in expenses for (a) practice game 7/9 (b) CMC/Soledad fundraiser 8/12 (c) bbq 10/9 (d)
labor day woody (only 3 teams registered vs 4 expected) (e) uncollected team fees for players that quit or did not pay that managers did not cover.
We still have a large surplus carryover, but it is primarily grant money from the past several years.
Increased costs in upcoming years will eat away at the surplus, but we hopefully should be able to maintain the current playing fees of
'approximately' $10 per game for some time.

(20 game regular season) at a cost of approximately $3200.00 with no charge to the teams.
