Last spring, Sellers received a phone call from Weinstein and Grossman. The 2 students said they had heard that the Durham Bulls Youth Athletic League didn't have the advantages of other leagues. They asked Sellers if he would show them the fields where the Durham Bulls Youth Athletic League played its games as well as where the other little leagues played. After seeing the disparity, Sellers remembers the students telling him: "We want to take the league to a completely different level."

Sellers and the students also met with Mike Birling, the assistant general manager of the Durham Bulls. The Bulls provide the major financial support for the league, but can only donate a certain percentage of the funding because of the league's non-profit status. Grossman and Weinstein reiterated that they wanted to help the league become the equal of others in the area. Though the students sounded sincere, Sellers and Birling couldn't help but wonder how this enthusiasm would translate into action.
