The Metro Atlanta Senior Softball League remembered the players and the spouses who are no longer with us on Saturday, August 16, at Best Friend Park.

The League hosts a Memorial Tournment in the Spring of each year at Bethesda Park in honor of these individuals. Generally 12 teams are invited each year. However, the tournament was moved to Best Friend Park. With only 2 fields, 8 teams in the 60 and 65 Division were invited to play.

  • 60 Division - ABC (Nashville TN), Hendersonville (NC), GA Express, League Team
  • 60 Division - Augusuta , Classics, Nuggets, Peaches

The ceremony honoring players and spouses who have passed away started at 8:30 a.m. Games started at 9:30 a.m. - last game started at 4:45 p.m. Coffee and donuts were provided by the League. Norcross Masonic Lodge ran the concession stand and provided water/ice to the players.
