Mamas
The Mamas are one of the BAWL’s oldest teams – we’ve
been around since the beginning, and we’ve seen it all.
We take softball pretty seriously, and we’re always
contending for a championship at the end of the season.
But, we also like to stick together and have fun. After
games, you’ll find us hanging out at the field or at the
Brendan Behan Pub. We have a good mix of ages on our
team. Some Mamas have been playing together since some
other Mamas were in high school. Most of us are in our
mid-20s to mid-30s. A few of us played softball in
college, and all of us played competitive sports in
college or high school.

Goats
The Goats
have quite the distinguished – and entertaining –
history in BAWL, having appeared in every possible
division multiples times. One of the oldest teams in
the league, we are perhaps best known in recent
times for our turnaround from an 0-14 season
to finishing at the top of our division for the past
three consecutive years. In 2009, the Goats are
the newest entry in BAWL's top division.
The Goats
like to create opportunities for laughs as
well victories. Over the years, we have welcomed
players of all stripes, experience, and energy to
our team. We regularly gather for team BBQs and have
been known to compete to find the best wine with the
name "goat" in it. (You might be surprised at how
many choices are out there.)

Metro
Cafe
Our roster is full right now
but who knows come June when we hand it in!
We are a laid back,
competitive, fun group of ladies. We have many
different levels of players on our team ranging
from "never played ball at all" (but athletic)
to "summer ballers" (in high school) to fast
pitch "college players". Some of us like to
drink beers after the games and some of us like
to watch the beer drinkers. Please note: WE
DON'T PRACTICE! We just rely on our "natural
talent" to get the job done. So if you are
looking for a relaxed environment of natural
born athletes (who never practice) to play with
in the competitive B-league division, we are
your team - Metro Cafe!

Red
ScareAs a member
of BAWL for over 25 years, Red Scare is one of the
original teams in the league. The team was very
recreational in its beginnings but, over the years, has
become much more competitive and is currently the
defending B division champions. We have a solid core of
players, some of whom have played together for over a
decade and others who’ve joined the team over the past 5
years. What keeps us together is our addiction to
playing softball and that we love to have fun. As a
team, we won’t be the last ones standing at the bar
(although some of us could be), but we’re definitely a
great group of people to hang out with. We have a lot
of returning players but are looking for a few people to
round out our roster.

Wild
WILD has been a member of the BAWL
league for nearly a decade. Our goal is to have fun and
to occasionally, be competitive. We’ve had some good
years, and some not so good but we manage to keep coming
back year after year. We’re recognizable by the
multitude of pooches and a couple of small fry (one of
each flavor) on our sidelines. Our roster is currently
closed but you never know…

Mudslides
We are a solid C division team (this means we are not
super competitive or super recreational - we're middle
of the road). The team been around for many many years
under various names including Behan's and Toast. We
used to change our team name in support of our sponsor.
Now we're sticking with Mudslides in honor of our
"mascot drink" (who knew Galway House made such good
Mudslides?).
Anyway, people have come and
gone over the years, but the team has always maintained
a fun mix of people with various skill levels. While we
definitely like to win games, it's just as important to
us to have fun!

SLAM!
Though we
are not the oldest team in the league, SLAM! has
been together for 6 years and is going strong! We
believe in having fun and if winning happens it just
adds to the fun. We have players of all ages and
abilities. We are looking for team members who want
more than just to play softball. . . to be a part of
our SLAM! community, play hard and have fun, make a
commitment to Sunday afternoon games for the summer
and enjoy the pub after the game.

Fenway Fens
Fatales
A fun-loving and semi-competitive team.
We love to have fun as a team, beers after games,
barbecues at the coach's house, but we also like to win.
Most of the players on our team have significant
previous experience and love playing softball. |
Master
Batters
-
If
you walk by the field and see a girl playing
softball in a running skirt, those are the
Master Batters.
-
If 10 other girls look embarrassed that
their teammate is wearing a skirt, those are
the Master Batters.
-
If you see an elf switch hitting & still
hitting homeruns from both sides of the
plate, those are the Master Batters.
-
If the coach congratulates her by yelling
"baby, you're so pretty," those are the
Master Batters.
-
If you see recently saw a scooter swerving
in and out of traffic on the Arborway, those
are the Master Batters.
-
If you see a blonde chick looking confused
about which way to run on the base path,
those are the Master Batters (and she, scary
enough, is a college softball coach).
-
If
you went to a UConn softball game in the late
90s and are having déjà vu, those are the Master
Batters (Is that a former Big East Co-Rookie of
the Year?)
-
If you overhear two new moms telling their
infant daughter that trophies for anything other
than first place is really just "first loser",
those are the Master Batters.
-
If you see a girl on the sidelines wearing a
bikini and complaining because we won't let her
play, those are the Master Batters. We would be looking for new players, but our
first baseman has social anxiety and is afraid
of new people.

Club
Cafe
Players
Club
The Club Café Players Club was
established in 2006. We started off as just a group of
friends who wanted to get together, play some softball,
be social and just have a good time. We all come from a
wide range of experience with the sport. There are a few
who we weren’t even sure owned a glove to a couple that
have played on the high school and/or college level.
We’re a competitive, but fun bunch. We understand that
winning is important, but having fun playing is more
important to us overall. We’re a pretty cohesive group
that likes to hang out after games and cheer on our
fellow teams or head to a local bar for food and drinks.
Despite being a newer team in the BAWL league, we’re
improving every year and will hopefully continue to do
so. Play on Players!

Night
Owls
The NIGHT OWLS have been in the RECREATIONAL division in one form or another for many years. While we are not an overly “social off the field” team, we still manage to have fun,
occasionally winning a game. The team usually is a collage of ages (20s-50s) and playing abilities (college to never) of women who want to play not compete.
If you're interested. Contact Betty at
bbeemer@juno.com
Come on, get off the couch and join the game!

Hop Heads
We are a
friendly, relaxed team who like to go out and have
fun. We are a mix of ages (20's to 50's), and
ability levels, with at least one thing in common:
we are happy when we win, but don't get upset if we
don't! We don't have regular practices, but
occasionally try to go to the batting cages as a
group. Our team has been playing in BAWL for many
years, as WOWW, the Ferries, and now the HopHeads.
We have lost some core players in the last few
years, and welcome new players who are looking for a
friendly, supportive team.
If you
are interested in playing for our team, please email
Leah at
LYelsey@gmail.com.

You're
Out!
You’re
Out joined the league two years ago and we are finally
beginning to come into our own as a team. While we look
forward to a competitive season, having a good time is
equally as important to us as winning and having team
camaraderie. We hope to continue to hone our skills and
come together as a force to be reckoned with. Our roster
is open as we have lost some players from last season.
We also welcome fans!

Bad
News
Babes
The Bad News Babes have been part
of BAWL for about seven years. We're a fun group of
women, mostly in our 30s and 40s, and the majority of
our core players have been Babes for years. We like to
win and we play hard, but we don't get bent out of shape
when we don't. Last year we were second in the D
division. You'd make a good Babe if you have a
sense of humor, are flexible about position, and can
grab most of the fly balls that come your way.

SHE
SHE enters the 2009 summer season as a new team in
the league, sponsored by both the Jeanie Johnston
Pub and SHE. Comprised of players of many different
talents and abilities, we hope to be competitive
while still managing to have a fun summer with our
new teammates. In addition to our talented
on-field team, we have a team “mom” (who brings
cookies to games), an “official” team photographer
and a token male cheerleader.
You will be able to find us
drinking (preferably with our opposing team) after
the games at Jeanie Johnston’s.
