Tom Seyler, co-head coach of the Palisades High baseball program, has a new twist planned for the annual alumni fundraiser, which will be held on Saturday, February 26, at George Robert Field. Old-timers (Dolphin alumni who graduated 10 years ago or more) worried will have an opportunity to play the Pali junior varsity team in an intrasquad scrimmage prior to the alumni game. The intrasquad game will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the alumni-varsity game at 1 p.m. Seyler will field a young team but is optimistic his Dolphins can defend their Western League title. Without some of its best players and against stiff competition like San Fernando, Royal, Sylmar and Newbury Park, Palisades has posted an 8-5 record in Winter League games. The Dolphins travel to play Sylmar in the playoffs Saturday and close out their schedule by hosting Harvard-Westlake February 19. In addition to its success on the field, Seyler’s squad is also making a difference in the community. The team has already raised over 1,000 pounds of baby food for underprivileged kids in East L.A., a benefit organized by longtime Pali supporter Gretchen Miller. Junior varsity coach David Kloser, author of the recently-published “Stepping Up to the Plate,” will be at Village Books at 7:30 p.m. on February 17 to discuss and sign copies of his new book. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the Pali baseball program.
