Some sneaky​, anonymous piece of shit​ complained about one of our games. ​ As a result, SF Parks and Rec is now demanding we make and pay for our reservations months in advance, pay the non-resident rate and​ show proof of liability insurance.

To the snitch who complained about us I say thanks asshole!!!

For now pickup baseball is dead.  If it doesn't return I'd like to thank everyone who has participated over the years.

Since March 2024 there have been 255 players who have participated in a pickup game. From 2009 to 2016 probably another 200, at least.

Notable participants​ over the years include Singapore resident Jingfei Yang.  She stumbled across my website and then emailed me to say she would be in town for work in March 2024 and that she wanted to play.  She did and played well.  She got a hit, a walk and played a solid outfield.  She's a catcher but obviously didn't want to pack her catcher's gear.

Another notable was Johnny Dyer in 2009.  He was a former Stanford middle reliever in about 2003 or 2004.  He didn't blow away everyone but he was ​super dominant.

In March 2024 I invited Kit Larsen, the perennial 18+ Cy Young winner.  He blew away everyone.  I was the first to face him that day.  Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight. LOL!!!

In 2009 Aaron Selix made his one and only appearance.  I think he pitched well and he hit a double and a bomb of a triple. 

To all the super regulars and not-so-regulars, I say thanks a bunch and thanks for the memories.

As they say, all good things must come to an end.

Thanks,

KR
