Fall Classic is a home run for The Gang, Pedal There

This week’s Adventure of the Week comes from Aaron Gaines, founder of North Tahoe volunteer group The Gang and Porters softball team player. If you haven’t been out to a Tahoe City D League softball game, you need to make it happen next season. It’s crazy out there!!

WHEN: September 8, 2011
GEAR: Patagonia Down Sweater for keeping the throwing arm warm between innings, headlamp for the bike ride home

Conner’s Field was lit by both the stadium lights and a bright pinkish alpenglow as four of Tahoe’s most colorful D League coed softball teams sang the National Anthem, threw out the first pitch, and unveiled a custom-made trophy to kick off the first ever Fall Classic.
The Gang, a North Tahoe volunteer club made up of hardworking, hard-playing locals who pitch in for local causes they care about, presented the event as a fundraiser for Pedal There. Most of the Fall Classic’s players were members of The Gang themselves, so inviting them to help a local cause by playing softball was something of a ‘no-brainer’! (more…)
