NEW - Peanut League For Boys & Girls 3-4 Years Old This fall, we will be offering a new league for 3 & 4 year old boys and girls. It's a lot of fun.

Evaluate Your Manager and Coach Online! You can now submit an evaluation of your team's manager and coach through this website! This is a very important process because it allows the BAAB Board of Directors to review the performance of our managers and coaches -- thus providing you and your child with the best experience possible. To evaluate your team's manager and coach, go to your team's page by selecting your league from the Baseball or Softball menus on the left and then clicking on your team name. The link to the evaluation form appears above the game schedule. It only takes a minute, but it's one of the most important pieces of feedback you can provide your association.

I Believe In Baseball

I believe hitting a round ball with a round bat is the hardest thing to do in all of sports. I believe that Roberto Clemente is the patron saint of baseball. I believe in the sacrifice fly. I believe that pitchers should buy catchers lunch. I believe batting practice makes perfect. I believe Lou Gehrig's birthday should be a national holiday. I believe in the designated hitter. I believe Tony Gwynn sleeps with his bat. I believe the squeeze play should be taught in public schools. I believe walls are hard. No one is bigger than the game except maybe Boog Powell. I believe somebody, somewhere, understands the infield fly rule. I believe it's time to sing "Take me out to the ballgame.." I believe, even I, sign better than Don Mattingly. And I believe every player should have a day off after two thousand, one hundred and thirty games. I believe domed stadiums are great...for tractor pulls. And I believe the two greatest words in the English language are     Play Ball!     Play Ball!     Play Ball!     Play Ball! -- Nike ad, All-Star Game '95.
