Tel Aviv Baseball

After 40 years, the lights are finally going up at our baseball field in the Sportek.

The poles are in the ground. The work is happening this month. We just need your help to finish it.

For four decades, this field has been home to Tel Aviv Baseball — every practice, every game, every Saturday pickup that pulls hundreds of people to the Yarkon. And for four decades, it's run on sunlight. Sun goes down, baseball stops.

That ends now.

After years of negotiation, the Tel Aviv municipality approved a full lighting installation. We didn't wait for the fundraise to close — the window was narrow and the city was ready. So construction is already underway. This isn't a rendering or a plan. It's steel in the dirt and electricians on ladders.

The total cost is $100,000. We've made it most of the way there. The remaining gap is what stands between us and a field that finally works after dark.

What lighting changes:
⚾ Evening practices that fit working families
⚾ Games that don't end at sunset
⚾ Junior + Premier League divisions playing at home in Tel Aviv again
⚾ A 10-month season that can finally breathe

This program has produced players on the Israeli National Team, in the European Championships, on American university rosters, and the first Israeli-born professional in the Majors. None of that came from facilities — it came from the coaches, families, and players who kept showing up.

Now we're asking the wider community to help us finish what's already underway.
