A local baseball team is looking to set a World Record.  The New Milford Express 15U baseball team is hosting a community event lasting from today all the way through Sunday night.  Rawling Sporting Goods Northeast Region Sales Manager Dan Olson says they are trying to become world record holders for the longest nonstop game of catch with a baseball.

For a donation of any amount, people can join the game and be linked to the world record.  The funds raised from this weekend-long activity will be donated to Western Connecticut Health Network's Breast Health Program. 

The theme of the event is a play on words from the classic baseball movie Field of Dreams.  In the final scene of the movie, Kevin Costner's character says "Hey Dad? Wanna have a catch?".  So in honor of Mother's Day, the event will be called "Hey Mom? Wanna have a catch?".

The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown out at 6pm at the New Milford Village Green.  The effort will last through 6pm on Sunday, Mother's Day.
