What a great game last night, thanks to all the Alumni and fans who showed up to watch a great game. The Alumni held a furious rally in the last inning to almost niche their first win against the Sr team. Special thanks to our Alumni umpires Danny Matherson and Larry Mims , these guys have seen more baseball in West Alabama than anybody and really enjoy getting to see these players again.
Thanks to the players for making Post 34 the most successful baseball program in the Alabama American Legion.

Baseball found this morning at Tuscaloosa amphitheater 
Tuscaloosa police on patrol found a lone baseball this morning at the amphitheater with a "34" label. They contacted Coach Jack Smalley of Post 34 who identified the ball as the one hit by Nick Vickerson in last nights Alumni game. "That ball was still rising as it went by the flag in dead center field" Smalley said. "We wondered if it would carry the river or not, we were concerned it might hit someone's house and they would mistake it for a meteoroid".

Thanks to the 2020 group of Old Timers who braved embarrasment and injury for one more moment of glory!

ALUMNI STREAK STOPS AT 1
The old timers win streak ended at 1 with the Sr team earning a hard fought win 10-7 at the TA baseball field last night. Losing pitcher Matt "Gopher Ball " Langston gave up his usual monster shot to the younger bunch, this time to deep left center unlike last years dinger over the trees in right field. Outfielders Ethan Haines and Conrad Smalley almost made great catches but their old legs just didn't have the pop.Dylan Powell brought back memories of his pitching by walking 7 people and then picking 3 of them off. Rookies Justin Dyer, Pierce Goodbread and Austin Randolph showed promise by making routine plays. JP Sanders and big brother Brenton are still hit machines. Drew Kellum and Grady Kelly showed why they will make great coaches. Cole Beck is still cute and Matt Reid missed the game as he was having his hair styled.
The old refrain "wait till next year" was heard as the old guys walked into the sunset!
Thanks to all who played , it's a real treat to see how much you guys love the game.
