"My name is Michael Bute, and I am with the St. Thomas Baseball Explorers. Our organization started in 1996. Our goal was to get the guys exposed more to baseball be seen nationwide, and have that dream to become major leaguers. The guys in this program are between the ages of 9 and 16. Ultimately, I want to say Thank You to the VI Lottery. They really make things happen for us, and we are hoping that future teams will be supported by VI Lottery. "
