City not forthcoming with info about potential sale of ballfields, league says

This fall, about 600 children and teenagers will take part in America's oldest pastime, playing for the Greater Manassas Baseball League.

With games in spring and fall, the Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken Leauge brings more than 30,000 people to the region who come to see teams play at the E.G Smith Baseball Complex and shop in stores and stay in area hotels. The complex is located at Route 28 and Godwin Drive, next to computer chip maker Micron Technologies, one of the city's largest employers.

Members of the all-volunteer organization put in more than 40 hours week coaching players, raising money for gear, and paying the cost to maintain the six fields at the baseball park, which the Manassas City Government owns.
