Homage to Daryl Starting Eastern Suburbs Junior Baseball League, by his son, James Trezise

When I was 8 years old I found a baseball bat in a tree in Varna Park. I came home and said to my old man I'd love to play baseball... So he looked up where I could play - there was nowhere in eastern suburbs. It was just cricket as far as the eye could see.

Back then, there was a small group of parents and kids that would play the golds versus blues. Same teams would play each other every week. It started at Queen's Park with demountable nets on tent poles, flimsy rubber plates and a rag tags bunch of kids and parents. Then it moved to Latham Park, then Dad got the idea that we should play with the Cronulla Sutherland Baseball League (I'm sure others were there with him, I was only a kid so only know what I saw)

The club got to use the corner of Nagle Park the first proper season in the CSJBL. I remember dad building the backnets in the garage at home, rooms filled with uniforms and garage chock-a-block with baseball kits.

By the time I was 16 I wasn't really playing anymore (I was never very good). But Dad kept at it, he was (and is) invested in the Club and the people.

He kept at it and pushed to get the club to Chifley and then for the oval redevelopment.

For him (like so many people) it's always been about family and community. He actually never played a game of baseball until I roped him into a season of seniors with Nth Sydney bears in the early 2000s.

Well done Dad and all the volunteers that make ESJBL such a vibrant club. It's great to see what it's become.
