7th BAMA BASH Will Be Played: April 27th - 29th, 2012.
Our 2012 tournament will mark the one year (to the day) anniversary of the tornadoes that ravaged Tuscaloosa, Pratt City, Birmingham, Central Alabama and much of the Southeast. The recovery is still a work in progress so it is only appropriate that we
focus our charitable fund raising efforts once again in association with the Central Alabama Chapter of the American Red Cross.
If you were fortunate enough not to be in the storm's path it's practically impossible not to know someone who was
deeply affected on April 27, 2011. Our thoughts, prayers and $1,000 raised that weekend from our tournamentactivites and the charity auction went to the Central Alabama Red Cross helping those impacted by the storms on that fateful day.
Let's all
hope for some great barbecue, brotherhood, baseball (weather) for that weekend. 2011 Championship Results By Age Group. Congratulations to all the playoffs teams, and division winners:
