2009 Fall Game Schedule

Games will be played at 1pm, 4:15pm and 7:30pm at Historic Woodside Mill Baseball Park - OR another field in the Greenville area (TBA) - on Sunday afternoons.

Rain-out Policy:  If the field is deemed unplayable due to inclement weather, or poor field conditions, it will be posted on the Website no later than two hours before game time.  Otherwise, the home plate Umpire will decide the field's condition at game time.  (IOWs, if it's not posted on this website, show up!)

About the RAIN MAKE-UP weekends.  If there's a rain make-up weekend needed, then the season will simply be "pushed down a week", but remain on the same schedule.  Example, if games for the weekend of 10/4 are rained-out, then the schedule is just "shifted down" so that the 10/4 games are now played the next weekend (10/11), and so forth.  The Website will reflect the schedule change.  

The FIRST Team listed is the AWAY team and wears the RED jersey!  The SECOND Team list is the HOME team and wears the BLUE jersey!  Regardless - bring both jersey's to the game, just in case!

October 4th - Legend's Weekend - All players must use Wood bats!

** Check schedule a few days before your game EVERY WEEK, as the schedule will probably change a few times during the season!

If you must miss any game, please let your Managers know so they can adjust their fielding linups. It can be challenging if done at the last minute.

Team Name Origins:

Brooklyn Superbas - 1899-1910.  A team of many names, inlcuding the Atlantics, the Grays, the Bridegrooms, the Grooms, the Trolley Dodgers, and the Robins.  Superba is Italian for superb.  They are the LA Dodgers today.

Splendid Splinters - A reference to Ted Williams, aka The Kid, Teddy Ballgame, and The Thumper.  Played for the Redsox from 1939 - 1960.  The last player to bat over .400 in a single season.

New York Highlanders - 1903-1912.  When the Baltimore Orioles of 1902 moved to the a new ball park in the remote "highland" area of Manhattan, they renamed the team the Highlanders. They are the N.Y. Yankees today.

Cleveland Naps - 1903-1914.  Prior to the 1903 season, the Cleveland Bronchos held a newspaper write-in contest to rename the team.  The winner of the contest named the team the Naps, after team captain and fan favorite Napoleon "Nap" Lajoie.  They are the Cleveland Indians today.

Chicaco Orphans - 1898-1901. Cap Anson was the first player in history to collect over 3,000 hits, and when he left his Chicago Colts team in 1898, the loss of his leadership resulted in the team becoming known as the Chicago Orphans (or Remnants).  They are now the Chicago Cubs.

Boston Americans - 1901-1907 - In 1901, the minor Western League, led by Ban Johnson, declared its equality with the National League, then the only major league in baseball.  Johnson changed the name of the league to the American League, leading teams in his league to be christened with the official nickname "Americans."  They are the Boston Redsox today.
