After winning back to back 19-Under championships in the Phillies RBI League the last two summers, the Feliz Filadelfia Angels are getting their reward…..a trip to Puerto Rico this summer to play four island teams. But they are going to need some help.
The cost for travel and accommodation will be about $26,000. The players will be paying some of the cost as will the Feliz Filadelfia organization, but the team is still about $10,000 short. Please donate on our GoFundMe page to send our players to Puerto Rico, or attend one of the scheduled fund raisers.
The players are already psyched to play. Here is what Emanuel Roman had to say, “I’m beyond excited for this trip to Puerto Rico with my team. It’s a great opportunity to compete at a high level, represent feliz filadelfia Angels, and experience baseball in a place with such a rich history in the game. I can’t wait to step on the field and give it everything we’ve got!”
And Juan Romero Jr. “Baseball has always been a huge part of my life, and now I have the incredible opportunity to play in Puerto Rico—connecting with my heritage while doing what I love. This journey means so much to me, and I appreciate all the support that helps make it possible!”
Coach Juan Romero, who is also baseball director at Feliz Filadelfia, has organized the trip which will take place right after July 4. Fifteen players and three coaches will be going on the trip.
“It’s a well-deserved opportunity after winning the 19U division in the Phillies’ RBI league for the past two years,” said Coach Romero. “From July 6 to 12, we’ll be competing against teams from different cities, making for some great games and an amazing playing experience for our players.
“To make this trip possible, we’re organizing several fundraisers in the coming months, and we truly appreciate all the support!” Coach Romero added
