In June 2020, James Medeiros resigned as Downey President. Subsequently, the new President and Treasurer reviewed the Downey Youth Baseball bank records and discovered several accounting discrepancies. 

On October 19, 2020, after a preliminary investigation, The Law Offices of Sean M. Murphy, P.C., on behalf of Downey Youth Baseball, Inc. filed a civil action in Brockton Superior Court against James Medeiros. 

This alleged theft has shocked and saddened our league, but we believe it is our duty as a board to hold Mr. Medeiros accountable for his actions. We thank everyone for their support. Downey Youth Baseball is committed to providing our players with an environment that encourages Teamwork, Dedication and Fair Play.

We are unable to provide additional comment on this matter. Please refer all questions to our attorneys at The Law Office of Sean M. Murphy, P.C.

Sincerely,

Downey Youth Baseball - Board of Directors
