That's a wrap on 2026 β and somewhere along the way this stopped being a softball league.
Look at the photos. There are kids in them. Wives, husbands, moms, dogs. Guys who showed up alone on a Sunday two years ago and now have a group chat, a nickname, and eleven people who'd help them move. We keep score because you have to keep score. That was never the point.
π YOUR 2026 CHAMPIONS π
π₯ Season Champs β Capt. Fer Romo
π₯ Memorial Day, Men's β Capt. Thomas Soeby
π₯ Labor Day, Men's β Capt. Anthony Lucero
π₯ Labor Day, Coed β Capt. Thomas Soeby
Soeby took two of the four. Two different divisions, two different rosters, same guy holding the ring at the end of the night. That's not luck.
And Anthony Lucero finally got his first-ever win!
Rings are out. Bragging rights are locked in for a full year. Everybody in those four photos earned it. Jerseys are being ordered and will be handed out when they arrive.
NOW THE PART THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. π
None of this happens by itself. Not one weekend of it.
The Morrison Family β Anthony Morrison, Gabby, and the whole crew. Tacos. Every week. All season. Not a one-time favor. Week after week after week, and every single person who played this year ate because of them.
Jodi Hollingshead Frkovich β Bracken Frkovich's mom β covered half our meat for the BBQ through Main Street Quality Meats. That's why nobody went hungry on either tournament weekend.
Gary Burkeβ every hamburger and hot dog bun, every tournament weekend, plus pastries nobody asked for, and everybody ate.
Frankie, Albert and Jeff β for running the raffles and the BBQs. Standing over a grill all day while everybody else plays ball is not a glamour job, and the food line never stopped moving.
Anthony Lucero β yeah, the same guy who finally got his ring. Before you ever played a game, he hauled his ATV out and dragged the fields. Every week. That's why the infield played true instead of like a gravel lot, and most of you never knew it was happening.
And thank you to Alishia Proctor and AFA for teaming up with us on the Labor Day tournaments, and to Moose Management Vacation Rentals Park City, Christopher Hall- State Farm Agent, and Gameface Sports.
When these people show up for us, show up for them. That's how this works.

AND ONE MORE THING, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT ALL OF YOU. π§Ή
After Labor Day weekend, the neighbors around Bicentennial thanked us for how clean we left the park.
Sit with that. Two full days, four fields, 240-plus players, a BBQ, a raffle, kids everywhere β and the people who live around that park came to us with a thank you instead of a complaint. That doesn't happen by accident and it isn't something I did. That's every single one of you picking up after yourselves without being asked.
That's the whole reason we get to keep coming back to these fields. Don't lose it.
______________________________________________________________________
NEXT YEAR IS GETTING BETTER. π
One long summer season is out. Two shorter seasons are in.
π₯ Spring season β season 1 of 2
π₯ Fall season β season 2 of 2
π₯ Memorial Day β draft tournament
π₯ Labor Day β draft tournament, men's AND coed
Better weather on both ends, less burnout in July, and two shots at a ring instead of one.
________________________________________________________________________
π AND ONE HONEST QUESTION: WENDOVER.
We've floated the idea of a destination draft tournament in Wendover, NV next year. Some of you said hell yes immediately. Some of you got quiet β and that's just as useful to know.
To be clear: this would be on top of Memorial Day and Labor Day, not instead of them. Those aren't going anywhere.
Nothing is booked. Nothing is priced. We have people out there who'd help us pull it off, so we're asking before we build anything:
Would you make the trip? And if you're hesitating β what's the reason? Cost? The drive? Not wanting to get a room? Give us the real answer, not the polite one. If the interest is there we build it. If it isn't, we don't. No hard feelings either way.

πΈ NOW SHOW US YOURS.
Drop your photos from the season in the comments. Dugout shots, diving catches, the BBQ line, your kid (or Frankie) asleep in a camp chair, the bad calls, all of it. We want to see this year through your phones and not just ours.
Thank you for an unreal season. Every one of you. See you in the spring. π₯π
