Austin Castro Concrete Jokers Athletic Club 18th Annual Men’s Fastpitch Softball Memorial Weekend Tournament in Austin Texas. Hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Castro Sr., Lee Castro Jr. The 2014 Castro Concrete Jokers Softball Team and myself Tournament Director John Limon Jr.
Our Memorial Weekend Tournament has been a tradition in Austin Texas for the past 18 years and I’ve had the pleasure of being the Tournament Director for those 18 years. We have truly had some memorable moments with Great Friends and Families from all over the World. We also have had to dodge some rain from time to time but those who know me and the Castro’s know that we go far and beyond to play this Tournament.
Our Tournament is a unique, You do not have to pay gate fee, there is no parking fee. Unlike other Tournaments you can bring your cooler with whatever beverage you enjoy along with food into the park. There are plenty of shade trees to battle the Texas heat and some teams even bring their Bar-B-Que pits and cook for their teams. Our Tournament truly has that old Old time Fastpitch Family Atmosphere that attracted to this Wonderful game to all of us in the first place.
We are honored to Host this Tournament on Memorial Weekend. A tradition that has been past down to myself for over 40 + years dating back to the 1963 Original Jokers, then Hosted by the Austin Braves, The Austin Angels, The Austin Athletics and then back to the Castro Family, Myself and the Jokers.
As always we are hoping to have some Joker legends and some of us not so legendary Jokers out on Saturday Evening for some good old time beer drinking and softball story telling fun. I hope you will come join us and myself. by the way I’ll also be toasting in my 50th Birthday.
We hope to see you May 24th and 25th and God Speed. More Information to follow.
