New bidder in the chase for the Dodgers. Sorry but we’ve had one circus freak show to last a lifetime. Bill Shaikin with the story on the new bidder.
I’m sorry we don’t have the money to pay you an appearance fee. But if you could spare a few moments of your weekend to come out to the Dodger Blogger softball tournament and help us raise money and food items for the LA regional food bank. We would greatly appreciate it. See we are not a big organization. We’re just a bunch of long time fans who cheered for you through our childhoods and adult lives. Hell we don’t even have an organization or a secretary for that matter. So you can see our / my budget is really limited. So if you can spare just an hour to come out and shake some hands and maybe sign a ball or two. You could really help us, help those that are truly in need.
The park also follows USSSA rules. I’m asking that you please bring legal bats. We do not want anyone getting hurt. This is for fun and lets try and keep it that way.
Gates open @ 7am.
Games start promptly @ 8am.
Each team receives a 3 game guarantee.
Each team will play at least once on our replica of Dodger Stadium.
The teams are randomly assigned to play to each other.
Top 6 teams move on to the playoffs.
Each team manager/captain will receive a meal ticket at check in and it is good for 3 large pizzas and 4 pitchers of soda. It can be redeemed any time throughout the tournament.
Each team will have at least a 1 hour break during the tournament to redeem their meal ticket.
1. We will need a roster from each team in order to check in the teams.
2. Rules – ASA
3. During check in we will have waivers for your group to sign.
4. Please pass the word along to your teams so there isn’t any confusion as sometimes our guests are not aware of our food and beverage policy
As a reminder there is no outside food or beverages allowed inside the park. The exception is bottled water.
5. No metal spikes are allowed. Of course plastic cleats are fine, but no metal spikes.
If you only want to purchase the team for the media rights. It will not matter how much money you have left in the bank after filling Franks pockets. You will bleed cash just like FOX and Frank. Dodger fans have suffered enough over the last fourteen years and they will not fall for the same trick for a third time. Showing an empty stadium will not look good on your new RSN or cable broadcast.
Update as of 1/31/2012 7:15 PM EST
The following blogs still need players to fill their rosters. Male or female makes no difference. So if you would like to play. Sign up. Pay your entry fee and you will be guaranteed a spot on their roster and will play in the tournament.
If you signed up for one of the above teams and have not paid. You have been removed from their roster. If you signed up for any other team not shown. That means your roster is complete with a min. of twelve paid players and locked. Due to a team pulling out at the last moment. I will try and field a third LFP team to keep the number of teams even at fourteen. Sign up will be on a first come ,first pay basis to fill in the remaining teams. You can sign up here Once you fill out the registration form. You can pay your entry fee here Also remember to bring a box or bag of items to donate to the food bank the day of the event.
I want to thank everyone who has helped promote this event on their blogs and web sites. I look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks. Thanks again.
There are over forty players that have yet to pay. If I do not receive payment by midnight Saturday night. I will remove you from the roster for the team you signed up for, and you will no longer be guaranteed a spot on that team. The final deposit is way past due and I need to confirm the amount of teams so they can make the game schedule. There have been several reminder emails sent out with the link to make your payment and I asked for you to respond to the emails if you still intended on playing or wanted to be dropped. For those that have not paid or replied back. Please do so today or tomorrow by midnight. If you do not have a credit or debit card. you can send an E check through We Pay. If you want to Pay the day of the event. Let me know and I can make arrangements for you to do so, but you must let me know now.
