Opening Day for the spring 2010 season will be held -- rain or shine -- on Saturday, April 10.
It all begins with the big P A R A D E, which starts at 10:00 a.m. sharp, marching down 7th Avenue from Carroll Street to 9th Street then up and into the park near the monument, to assemble at the Bandshell. There will be a number of dignitaries and celebrity guests on hand to greet the ballplayers and their families.
All teams from all organizations should be assembled for the parade no later than 9:30 am.
Teams from SFX should assemble on Carroll Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. Teams from 78th Precinct should assemble on President Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. Teams from Brooklyn Angels, Camp Friendship, Holy Name Fathers Guild, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and SBBL should assemble on Carroll Street between 7th and 6th Avenues.
The first games of the season will commence directly following the Opening Day ceremonies. Most teams will play their first game that opening weekend.
Let's get ready to play ball!
The PPBA Does Improvement Work on Fields 4 and 5
OCTOBER 2009 - We are pleased to announce that the Prospect Park Baseball Association has completed an improvement project to reduce the pooling of rainwater on Fields 4 and 5 in the Long Meadow of Prospect Park. This work -- re-grading and adding 80 tons of new clay on each field, as well as the renovation of Field 2 completed for the 2007 season – was made possible by your purchase of tickets for the PPBA Mets and Yankees fundraising events over the past few years. Without your support of our fundraisers, these renovations would not have been possible. Thank you very much! Congratulations to the 2009 Season Champions!
Congratulations to all the teams that played in last year's end-of-season tournament. Here are the results. |
