B Division

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.

Red Scare

As 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…

C Division

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.

D Division

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!

D Division Winners:  2009

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.

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.
