CCBUA 2025 Annual Banquet

This year the Board decided to hold a picnic instead of a formal evening for their annual banquet. The event was held on Sunday June 1 from noon-5pm at the Brewster VFW. It was a great time for our umpires to gather and have some fun off of the field.

President Jon Bisceglia worked the grill to perfection cooking hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken. He also provided a small sound system for music and announcing for the awards.

There was also a raffle for equipment and a Corn Hole game. It was a very successful day and we thank all who attended and congratulate those who won awards and equipment.

The Cape Cod Baseball Umpires Association presented it’s highest honor to longtime member John Teehan Sunday at its 2017 banquet.

Mark Delaney was eloquent in his introduction of Teehan saying ” John over his 25 plus years of umpiring has truly demonstrated & in my belief exemplifies the bedrock tenets of what the McNally is all about. Over the years John has gained the admiration & respect of fellow umpires, game assignors & yes even coaches for his on & off the field professionalism as well as his keen sense, knowledge & understanding of the game of baseball and his steadfast principles to fair play as well as his passion & zeal to share his wisdom & experiences with others, which transcends far beyond the playing fields and reflects an unobstructed view & unquestioned example of John’s character not only towards this game we also hold dear to us and John’s love & loyalty to family, friends community & country.”

Teehan now joins Doug Mason and Peter Hall as the only recipients of this prestigious award.
