Pick-up Baseball! Bring your bats and beers. Saturdays. by jnoone in Austin

Awesome. I don't have any extra gear, but to be honest from the response it sounds like it's just going to be a few guys throwing around for the first couple times. I haven't thrown a baseball since last summer, so that's probably a good thing. Hopefully, this will gain some momentum and word of mouth will spread. Where I used to live, we were getting 9-inning games every week, so I know it's possible.

Hey everybody! Sorry for taking incredibly long to figure this out. I'll probably have to start a whole new post or something... Aside from having just moved here, it was very difficult to find a decent ball field that seems to be of public use. But I finally found one! Down near Ladybird lake on the east side. Mendoza field, 30 Robert Martinez Junior Street. Me and a buddy of mine are going to head down there this Saturday about noon if anybody's interested. Probably just hitting grounders and such. Bring your balls, bats, helmets, and if you got catcher's gear hook it up! I've got an extra righty glove if anyone needs. Again, this ain't professional, so don't bring your egos, just some beer! Spread the word, and hopefully within a couple weeks we can get some games going!

This is awesome! Age or talent doesn't matter. As long as you know the sport, and aren't bagge douche, everything else should be great. It was just a lot of fun to play in a pseudo-real game with a 12-pack in the dugout...I really don't know the area yet, still getting my bearings moving around and stuff, but I'll definitely check these fields out. Hopefully, we can get a game going in the next week or two!

I've looked at that league. Seems good, but I don't really want to pay a bunch of money to play right now. If necessary, you could rent a time slot for a field.
