Better Banks has stepped up and is now a sponsor of MYBA at the Triple level.   We appreciate Better Banks using there advertising dollars at the ballpark where over 500 families will be watching baseball from April til October.   With this sponsorship, they will have a sign on the outfield fence facing Veterans road.   

If you would like to advertise with or become a sponsor of MYBA, please contact Tim Taylor at (309) 642 0008 or Brad Mitchell at (309) 265 5932.

The Central Illinois Chicago Cubs Booster club has generously contributed to Morton Baseball for the third year in a row.     We appreciate their continued support.    Just to be fair, we cannot find a Cardinals or White Sox booster club to reach out to, but if any Cardinal or White Sox Fan wants to match the Cubs Booster club donation, please feel free to contact MYBA.
