The Teener Tournament

Every July since 1977 the club has given dozens of
13-year-old baseball players the chance to shine in their own tournament.
In this first year of teener ball the 13-year-old may not otherwise
see such opportunity.  Under the steadfast leadership of Joe O'Hara,
this event has become not only popular but also very successful.

For several years he succeeded in arranging for them to play
the championship game at the home of our triple A professionals,
the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons.  In 2007 the finals  moved
to King's College Betzler Field.  This service project is in
keeping with our general interest in promoting youth athletics.
Proceeds generated by this event support baseball for kids and
facility maintenance in the Fort-Swoyer area.
