We are a fun and competitive co-ed softball league in Lowell MA since 1985.
2010 All-Star Festivities
Friday July 30, 2010 starting @ 6:15pm
This is our 4th annual All-Star night. This has been a great success in the past. It helps raise money for the league to lower costs for upcoming years and also gives a chance to hang out with the other teams for a fun filled softball night. We will be selling hamburgers and hot dogs, as well as chips, candy, and cold beverages, so bring the family for a hamburger and hot dog and let your kids shag some balls in the outfield during the home run derby. We would like as many people there as possible for food and to watch this event. Please bring family and friends.
The home run derby kicks things off at 6:30pm with sign ups starting at 6:15pm. Anyone can participate in the home run derby. They do not have to be in the league. It is a $10 fee to sign up and it is 50/50 split with the league for the males. Last year we had 16 participants with the winner, Jeff Trainor, taking home $80 and the league raising $80. We also have a female HR derby as well and the winning amount will be determined by how many participants are involved. The home run derby is a 10 out event. Any swing that is not a home run is an out. If you hit a home run that is not considered an out. You are only allowed to let 5 pitches go by without a swing (this is for time issues).
We will also have a 50/50 raffle ticket being sold and raffled off in the 3rd or 4th inning of the game. The prices for the tickets are 1 ticket for $2, 10 tickets for $10, and 25 tickets for $20. All tickets will be sold there and winner must be present to win.
The all star game will consist of 3 teams on one side and 4 teams on the other side. Teams were picked out of a hat for this decision and also made as fair as possible (please see below for teams). It is a one pitch game and everyone bats in the lineup. The pitchers will rotate per inning. Position players will also rotate giving everyone playing time. Umpires are volunteers so yelling at them is definitely allowed. If you are an All-star playing in the game, please wear your team jersey.
Home Team 1 - Fat Boyz, LFC, Beer Bellies, Charlies
-Please have your team choose 2 guys, 1 girl, and your pitcher
Away Team 2 - J-Nicks, Sticky Bandits, Hynes
-Please have your team choose 3 guys, 1 girl, and your pitcher
