Shape lives. Help kids. Learn the great game of baseball. Become an umpire.

The Keough Award is to be presented to a HS baseball program in our district that displays the best ideals of sportsmanship that we are all looking for. The program can be Freshmen, JV or Varsity.  Fellow umpires will nominate a school and we as a group will vote for the recipient at the May meeting.  Representatives of the school will then be invited to the WMBUA Annual Banquet to receive the award.
