The opening day of BAMSBL's 2010 campaign most likely will be rained out due to a rainstorm. We will wait until the morning to officially cancel games if the storm does hit as expected, but for now it doesn't look good in getting any games in tomorrow.

Junior Giants Kids Festival - Donations & Volunteers Still Needed

2009-07-29T20:02:00.001-07:00

LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER ARE FILLED WITH ACTIVITY FOR JUNIOR GIANTS
Bay Area Men’s Senior Baseball League Teams Up for Junior Giants Festival

(San Francisco, CA, August 1, 2009) --- This Saturday, August 1st, the Bay Area Men’s Senior Baseball League (BAMSBL) will be taking part in a “Junior” event – the Junior Giants Festival, held at Balboa Park in San Francisco.

Hosted by the Giants Community Fund, Junior Giants baseball is a free, noncompetitive league that uses the fundamentals of the game to promote life skills meant to stick with youth and their families long after the last ball is thrown. The program relies on volunteers and community support to continue their mission, and this year, the BAMSBL is generously contributing their time and energy to keeping kids running the bases, instead of the streets, during the summer months.

“The BAMBSL is proud to be a part of an event that not only enables kids to play ball, but to become leaders within their own communities,” says Anthony Bishop of the BAMSBL. “We’re excited to have the opportunity to get more involved with the Junior Giants – it’s a great cause.”

Junior Giants leagues from Fresno to San Francisco will be in attendance this Saturday to enjoy a full day of activities. Youth participants and their families will have the chance to take part in a free health festival from 11am to 2pm, and can expect a visit from San Francisco Giants mascot, Lou Seal, around noon. Scoreless baseball games between the various leagues will be going on all day, in addition to a series of fun, free attractions provided by the BAMSBL.

WHO: The Bay Area Men’s Baseball Senior League in partnership with the Giants Community Fund and Junior Giants Baseball
WHAT: The Junior Giants Festival
WHEN: Saturday, August 1st, 2009
Activities begin at 10am
Health Festival from 11am – 2pm

Information About The Junior Giants
-Junior Giants is a free, non-competitive and co-ed baseball program for children ages 5-18 in over 80 communities throughout California, Oregon and Nevada.
-Over 15,000 kids play Junior Giants each year, primarily in the summer months.
-With the help of over 2,000 coaches, players learn the importance of teamwork and confidence, rather than how many runs were scored or bases stolen.
-Because coaches are volunteer based, there is always a need in each and every league for more coaches.
-Each year, nearly 6,000 kids do not own their own glove. To decrease that number, a Glove Drive is held at AT&T Park where fans can donate a new or used glove, or $10, and receive a commemorative pin.

A Loss in the BAMSBL Family

2008-05-30T16:58:00.000-07:00

The entire Bay Area MSBL community sends their deepest condolences to longtime member Bob Giraudo and his family after the death of their son, Anthony, on Friday, May 9 outside of AT&T Park.

Brian Willis, longtime teammate of Bob, shared his thoughts today. "Bob has been a great friend and player for the Beavers and now the Brewers. His son would come to our games and loved to watch us play. A lot of us have known Anthony since he was eight years old and watched him grow in a great baseball player and a wonderful young man. This is a time for the league to come together and give your thoughts and prayers to the Giraudo family.
