Dear Coaches, Players, Ownership and the Dansville Gliders Community:
As the 2025 summer season with the Dansville Gliders comes to an end, I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who made this experience special.
To Coach Dell & Coach Heigh — Thank You for your dedication and hard work throughout the Summer. You both stepped up and did an amazing job. I could not have done this without either of you!
To My Players — Thank you for the grind, the laughs, and the unforgettable memories. It was a privilege to be able to coach you this summer. We battled some adversity at the beginning of the season, but we came together as a team and played hard, which is all I asked from each of you when I took over! Again, thank you for sticking with me and putting your trust in me!
Caitlyn — Thank You for making sure everything was taken care of. You were literally a jack of all trades. You organized the camps, school visits, created our social media content, ran all game day operations and so much more! Best of luck!
Host Families — There is NO WAY we could exist without you! I appreciate you welcoming my players into your homes and making them apart of your family! The bonds they built with you will last a lifetime!
To Our Fans – Your passion and energy made every game feel like something special. Whether we were home at Babcock Park or on the road, your support never went unnoticed. You gave us momentum when we needed it most, and your cheers meant more than you know. Thanks to the best fanbase in the NYCBL!
To Ownership and Board – Thank you for your vision, your commitment to this organization, and for giving myself and the players the opportunity to grow in such a competitive and supportive environment. Your hard work behind the scenes made everything possible, and I am grateful to be part of what is being built here in Dansville.
This summer was more than just baseball. It was about building relationships, learning lessons, and embracing the journey. I'm grateful to have been a part of this team and wish everyone the best!
With appreciation,
Mike Bassage
