DECEMBER 13, 2019, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 WALKER, continued from Page A1 to reconsider the proposal and has tweeted out support for the Volcanoes organization in re- cent weeks. In their conversation, Walk- er shared the on-fi eld success of the Volcanoes and how they have produced multiple play- ers that went onto win World Series titles with the San Fran- cisco Giants. Walker also talked about how the team has met, and in some instances, exceed- ed facility requirements from the MLB and the possible eco- nomic impact losing the Volca- noes would mean for the city of Keizer. According to Walker, nearly $1.5 million of upgrades, in- cluding three new buildings, Submitted Multiple Minor League Baseball representatives, owners and members of Congress pose for a group photo on Capitol Hill. have been added to Volcanoes Stadium since its con- struction in 1997. “The Congress- man was very interested and supportive. He asked insightful questions that showed he was well-versed on the issue,” Walker said. “Schrader and I shared many common goals. We are community-fi rst. We both believe in supporting lo- cal businesses and we recognize that Minor League Baseball is essential to the communities it represents.” But arguably the most meaningful part of Walker's trip came during the briefi ng/ news conference that took place on Capitol Hill later in the day. Four members of Congress — Lori Trahan (D-Mass.), David McKinley (R-W.Va) Rep. Max Rose (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Max Simpson (R-Idaho) — banded together to form the bi-partisan Save Minor League Baseball Task Force, which plans to advocate for each community that stands to lose their minor league teams Trahan, McKinley, Rose and Simpson all represent districts that feature minor league or- ganizations that would be on the chopping block if the MLB's proposal comes to fru- ition. “The Save Minor League Baseball Task Force was one of the most meaningful and authentic shows of legisla- tive support I have seen in my three decades as a professional baseball owner,” Walker said. “The task force not only pro- vided the national venue for the cause of saving the 42 af- fi liated minor league teams, it also allowed team owners, like ourselves, to share our commit- ment to local economies and community causes.” Along with receiving sup- port from Congress, Volcanoes fans and former players from across the globe have voiced their displeasure with the MLB's proposal on saveourvol- canoes.com, a website where fans can sign a petition in sup- port of the organization. Justin Knoedler, who played for the Volcanoes in 2001 and now resides in Illinois, wrote on the site: “Great place to play, wonderful community and ter- rifi c ownership. There are sev- eral minor league ballparks that should be shut down, but this one should not be on the list.” Jeena Huntzinger from Dal- las (OR) added: “The Volcanoes are a part of our community in Keizer. The players stay in our homes. The stadium has a picnic area for families during games. The owners pay trib- ute to our local businesses and charities. The Volcanoes matter a great deal to us. Don’t take them away.” Over 3,800 signatures have been logged by fans from 47 states and 16 countries. “Saveourvolcanoes.com was in response to a fan request,” Walker said. “It was felt that if we could, by Opening Day 2020, get 2,021 signatures, rep- resenting the importance of keeping our MLB affi liation in 2021 and beyond, that it would be a signifi cant showing of sup- port. Purely on word of mouth, we basically doubled that num- ber of petition signatures in about two weeks and the num- ber is still growing It was one of the purest shows of support I have ever seen for a minor league baseball team.” While signing the petition on saveourvolcanoes.com is extremely valuable to the or- ganization, Walker says the best thing that fans can do to sup- port the team is simply to come to games this summer. “Every seat fi lled in the 2020 season is a critical step for Volca- noes Nation to keep their pro- fessional baseball team. Think of it like a town hall format for making a decision — our fans can vote with their in-stadium support,” Walker said. Swapping old and new-ish On Saturday, Dec. 7, Faith Lutheran Church on River Road North hosted the area’s fi rst-ever Toy Swap. In the weeks leading up to the event, area residents dropped off lightly used toys as part of an effort by Marion County Recycling to reduce waste. Last weekend, all the dona- tions were collected and of- fered for free. About two doz- en visitors fi lled a community room at Faith Lutheran after the opening. KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.
