Pickup Baseball?

Pickup baseball is the never-ending battle between two bitter rivals, the powerful and storied Park Bums franchise and the scrappy, upstart Ballers.

The rosters are limited to 13 per team, 26 total.

We pick teams at 9:45AM with first pitch at 10AM.

Games include one paid umpire and plenty of fresh pearls.

Most games are at Big Rec, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA with post-game refreshments at Yancy’s or Underdogs.

If you’re 18 years or older, you sign the waiver and you’re one of the first 26 players to sign the guest book you can play.

$15 per game.

The above picture, circa 1910, is Big Rec, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA.

The view is looking south towards MLK Drive and Lincoln Way beyond.

Prior to 1942 they used moveable backstops which you can see in the picture.

In 1948 concrete backstops and the seating areas were built for the two diamonds, Graham and Nealon.

I would like to add that as of March 2024 both diamonds at Big Rec are in super good condition. It’s a really nice place to play.
