Due to the unexpected death of Jack Gifford the Maxim Yankees will shut down operations for 2009 with hopes of returning in 2010 if funding is possible. There will be a possible golf tournament or Texas Hold'Em tournament to help continue funding the Maxim Yankees in the future. More details will come in a few months. It is a sad day for the Maxim Yankees. Those who would like to try and help continue the Maxim Yankees in the future and achieve Jack's goal of winning the NBC World Series can make donations payable to Maxim Yankees and send them attn to Jeff Thomas at the address listed below. The Yankees provided many local collegiate baseball players a place to play when they needed to stay local for summer school. The team also helped the career of more than 40 players who went on to play professionally and provided many of its players with jobs after college. Over the course of the 16 years it became one of the premier (if not the top) summer clubs in the country. Please email Jeff Thomas or Wes Porter if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Please send donations to:
