Chris Corkum reaches

Hall of Fame!

Long-time Pete Kokinis Baseball League Coach Chris Corkum will be inducted into the Western Massachusetts Baseball Hall of Fame on March 2 in Longmeadow. Please click here for the story and informatin on the induction ceremony. Congratulations Chris!

Starting this year, all umpires will be paid on the field by the home team. The league no longer pays for or reimburses umpire fees. Rates per umpire for each Board are below.

If one umpire covers a game, the rate is 1.5 times the rate in the chart. The home team is responsible for any travel fee incurred because the umpires show for a game and the game is not played.

If you have any questions, please contact your Supervisor or Director.

We are now requiring all players and coaches to register on our site. Note the team must be registered before players and coaches can register for the team. Parents of players under the age of 18 must register their player. Players 18 and over may register themselves.

A birth certificate is MANDATORY for all players. Please have a scan or photo ready to upload when you register. If you have registered for a prior season, your birth certificate is already on file.

70 Years of Baseball History

The Pete Kokinis Life Baseball League prides itself on its philosophy that players should develop skills, develop an appreciation for the game of baseball, and, most importantly, to have fun. Thousands of Connecticut teens have helped make our League one of the largest and oldest independent baseball programs in the country. Below are some of the articles and artifacts we've gathered over the past 70 years. The collection is growing, if you'd like to contribute, please contact Dan Turkeltaub, dan.turkeltaub@gmail.com. Our League History page contains a list of alumni whom have gone on to Collegiate, Minor, and Major League success.
