Mike Carzino is the owner and operator of Payless Batting Cages, a business he opened in 1994. His introduction to baseball was coaching the “Foxes” in 1979. The team went on to achieve an incredible 18-0 record and won the T-Ball Division Championship, a feat that was a highlight of Mike’s baseball commitment. Seeing the dramatic transformation of the team from little children who couldn’t bat or throw to a victorious championship team was a thrill that Mike will never forget. In 1981, Mike joined the Rockets coaching staff managed by Bob Beberg and helped to win the Rockets Major Division Championship. Mike and the Rockets staff were also instrumental in building the new T-Ball fields in the City of Concord. To get funding, they established a Bingo Fundraising committee and operated Bingo for the public. Through this effort, they were able to fence, set up scoreboards, and build fields for the T-Ball teams. Today, Mike Carzino is the proud owner of Payless Batting Cages, a business he opened in 1994.
