BAY AREA PIRATES
(aka Team Pape Pirates)
The 2009 Bay Area Pirates formerly known as Team Pape, is looking to better their 2nd place finish from the 2008 Men’s Class “B†ASA National Tournament last season. Their goal is to participate in the 2009 Men’s Class “B†ASA Nationals in Prescott, Arizona. With an off-season merger taking place with Da Bruddah’s of Hayward, the Pirates have 10 returning players from the 2008 squad and Da Bruddah’s are represented by 7 of its team members. The team has participated in 2 tournaments in NorCal and is looking forward to participating in The Best of the West tournament, which is considered to be one of the best tournaments in California. We are looking forward to a great weekend of highly competitive softball. Thanks in advance to the tournament organizers for a job well done and we will see you all at the field!
