Sunday's annual pre-Halloween game celebrates the October-November birthdays of several who have played the game in past years.
Bring a whole team or just your whole family. We bring a lot of gloves, balls and bats but shoes suitable for running are recommended.
No fee, just fun! Enjoy the feeling of being in the World Series without the stress!
This game is the direct successor to the Sunday afternoon softball games at Wilson Park often populated by Dickson Street restaurant workers who never got off on Saturdays and others who just happened to be enjoying the park on a given Sunday. In the 1990s, we had a list of more than 200 people who sometimes played. Ages ranged from 7 to 70!
