Your affable radio host, BR, for the second year, is playing in the Denver NABA (National Adult Baseball Association) over 35 league. Yes, baseball, NOT softball. This page will chronicle the exploits of Bill's team, the Stars. Also, if you are looking to play in the NABA and if you are good, contact Stars Manager John Namovicz at artificialturf2003@yahoo.com. If you are looking to play and you aren't very good, contact one of the other teams in the league!
*Note: I have trouble lining up the columns for some reason. My bad. BR.

BR with Mustangs Pitcher Alan Bucholtz (8-15-10) . Buck is 73 years old and was the winning pitcher in the NABA All-Star Game. He also beat the Stars on this day. He also hit me with a pitch for the second time this season. The guy is amazing. Buck that is, not BR.
