Ask any player, and they’ll tell you the best part about baseball is the Snack Shack.  Not only is the Snack Shack a kid’s paradise, the money it brings to the league helps our kids play the great game of baseball at an affordable price.

Like everything else about West Seattle Baseball, the Snack Shack is run by volunteers, so thank you for your help and your business!

If you have questions regarding the Snack Shack, please contact Pam Ornstil (ornstilp@gmail.com)
