Donelson Baseball/Rotary Park has Embarked on a New Era
Donelson Baseball has affiliated with Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth baseball. This affiliation brings new opportunities and improvements to Donelson Baseball, which will improve the sporting experience for all of the youngsters’ in Middle Tennessee. This new affiliation will not affect our regular season recreation league which is and always will be our main focus and concern. Most parents and players will not be aware of the change except for the fact that more players and families will be eligible to participate in our program than ever before. Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth baseball offers the opportunity for all children from Davidson, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson Counties to participate in the Donelson Baseball experience. These players will be offered participation in regular season, fall (instructional) season and All-star season play without restrictions or limitations. Donelson Baseball/Rotary Park will be participating in a program which boasts other programs, such as Brentwood, Franklin, Bellevue, Hendersonville, and Gallatin just to name a few. With this new affiliation we will be able to open up our boundaries, which have been restricted by Little League in the past. This new affiliation will allow all players to participate in one of the best baseball programs in Middle Tennessee. Donelson Baseball/Rotary Park strives to provide a quality and exciting program for all participants. We look forward to another wonderful and exciting season here at Rotary Park and look forward to welcoming any new Ball players to our exceptional program.
Donelson Baseball would like to welcome you to our new site. As you can see the site has many new features and the layout is different than what you are familar with. Links to individual pages within the site or now on the right under the heading, “From the Dugout”. Please navigate around the new site and please excuse any problem while we convert to our new site.

- Scoreboard Signs 3′ x 10′
If you know a potential sponsor or would like more information please email: joseph.parker3@comcast.net
Great site
I think that this offers a lot of opportunities for the league to better represent in All-Star play since there will not have to be and American and National league. At least this is what I understand. This will allow the league to pull the best of the best from all teams represented in the league in their respected age group. This should also increase the number of children to be able to play the great game of baseball in the best park around, Rotary Baseball Park!
Something from one of our parents that I wanted to share:
Dear Mr. Bollinger:
I wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for 6 wonderful seasons at Donelson Little League. You took a chance on Christopher and made him an incredibly stronger person because of it. I can honestly say the teams and the coaches that have made a HUGE impact on Christopher and taught him that he could do so much more than anyone thought he could!!! I have seen and heard a lot of negatives but let me tell you that Joe and I have nothing but the humblest appreciation to you and the board of Donelson Little League. I would also like to acknowledge Mike Ramsey, Charles Hager, Jamie Holloway, Boo Manuel, Mike Westveer, Coach Kyle Frederick, all the Coaches (and players) on the 2008 Minor Brewers, and to the coaches from the 2005 Pony Devil Rays and the 2006 Minor Diamond Jaxx who gave Christopher so much confidence that he could stand up there and face his fears and be an important team player. With that being said, we say Goodbye at this time to an era in the Thordsen house. Christopher has decided that band and Boy Scouts are the important things he wishes to pursue and has decided to “Retire” from Little League. Patrick Thordsen who wishes to thank Coach Ray Adcock has decided baseball is not his thing and wishes to pursue Cub Scouts at this time. We love Donelson Little League and wish you all nothing but the greatest success in the future. Don’t be surprised if we show up for a visit, we still have many friends there. Thank you so much for everything.
Sincerely,
Joe, Helga, Christopher, and Patrick Thordsen
I am currently working for Cash Express on Lebanon RD. in Hermitage and we would like to donate some cups for the concession stand if possible. Please give us a call @ 475-5100 and ask for Kristina or Tina. Have great day!
When will we be contacted about the hats and uniforms we as parents would like to get the kids names on there hats i’m the team mom and no one has let me know when i need to pick these things up
Sincerely
Michelle(Minor Astros)
Uniforms should be in within the next couple of days. Your coach will be contacted with pickup times.
It would be great if the schedule for the games and the board members was on the site and kept updated. It might cut down on some phone calls.
Will
It is on the site now, along with the Board Schedule and Concession Supervisor schedule. It will be update as i receive the updates.
Great first day of the season. Everything ran pretty smooth.The Park looked great. Thanks to all the volunteers for all their hard work.
Will
Need umpires schedule posted on web site.
Just a note from a satified team.
The Major Red Sox volunteers want to compliment you and your staff on the noticeable changes to the concession stand. The overall cleanliness, the ability to move about easier and the quality of food is very much appreciated. Great job!
You need to have a hotline on the front page to know weather a game is rained out or not for the people who live far away and are scheduled to play in this park.
Please post rain outs on website before game-time, this would help with phone calls.
To all of Donelson Little League,
We have lived at Rotary Park (aka DLL) for the last 14 years we have had two boys play ball there Chaz/Tristian but as time passes so do things change, Chaz now in college and Tristian which played at the park last year is now playing school ball and playing in Mt Juliet. We revisited the park lately as Tristians team played one of the Donelson teams on the senior field it was strange being on the other side. But the park looked great as always and we even met a few old friends. I wish you all the best…
Thanks for all the memories……
Terry and Lillian Goad
We do post rainouts on the site before game time. Please keep an eye on it.
We do post rainouts on te site before game time on the home page, the first page you go to.
Are the games today still going to be played? My son has a game and nobody has told us anything.
Do you know if make up pictures will still take place on Saturday, May 8th?
And if so, what time?
Thanks for all of your help.
Ms. Underwood will be at the park on Thursday, May 6 from 5:30-7:30 distributing team pictures to those teams that had their pictures taken on April 17. Please have a representative from your team come by the park Thursday night to pick up your team’s pictures.
They are full
Do you know if the silent auctions time will stay the same times or will they change

The time for this Saturday will be 11am-7pm, the teams have different times, and those that have already worked will not have to work again. I have sent an email to the coaches and team moms.
there are times when it is difficult to update and on a couple of days this week the decision was made a late as possible while we were trying to get the fields ready. sorry
