BTF Chicago Softball Team?

Any Chicago Primates interested in cobbling together a softball team for one of the city summer leagues? My preference is 16” rec, but I would of course submit to the will of the people. Discuss!

I like the idea, but as a Gurnee resident who already over-commits his time, I expect I would probably agree to participate and then never show up.

Same here, though substitute NW Indiana for Gurnee.

At the very least, I hope we can make the BTF Softball game an annual event. That was a lot of fun.

I'd much prefer 12", but I'm open.

And I echo the calls for a reprise of the BTF softballfest, even if the league doesn't get off the ground.

Me, too. I haven't played in a league since Softball City shut down. Chris, you ever play there?

Honestly, I've never even heard of it. Or maybe I have, and I've just forgotten. Where was it?

In Hainesville. I think just north of 120 on Hainesville Rd. They sold the property a few years ago and someone built a subdivision there.

I definitely support another softball outing regardless of whether or not we're able to assemble a team.

I'm a yes with a but. I'll be at school at night at some point during the week, and have Sunday morning softball on the southside. As sizable a contingent we have from Chicago, I'm not sure we could consistently get enough people on a weekly basis.

I echo the call for an annual game at minimum.

I'm probably out if it's on Wednesday evenings as I play on an existing team then.

I'd be up for this, as long as it's not a Monday night league (hockey night). I could probably get a friend or 2 to join as well.

Ah, OK. No, I don't think I've ever played there.

Damn, it's been just over 10 years since it was sold. I'm old.
