Hey guys,

I hope everyone has had a good season. I got the email below from
Bruce Leith of the Elkton Club and told him I would pass this along
to all of you guys. I think they would be willing to play overhand
but you would have to check.

Gentlemen:
Major League Baseball came out with their schedule today and I wanted
to see if any of you were interested in a road trip to see your Sox
in Baltimore or Philadelphia and get some vintage base ball games in
while you're here!

It just so happens that the 3rd Annual Washington DC Classic (AKA The
Hottest Tournament on Earth!) is scheduled for August 1 and 2 in the
heart of Washington DC in the shadows of the Washington Momenument,
the Jefferson Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. It coensides in
2009 with the National SABR Convention that will take place in DC
from July 31 to August 2. As luck would have it, the Red Sox are
playing the Orioles in Baltimore that weekend if any of you are
interested. Last year's festival was 12 clubs including: Ohio
Village, Greensboro Patriots, NY Mutuals, NY Gothams, Brooklyn
Atlantics, Flemington Neshanock, Talbot Fair Plays, Elkton Eclipse,
Chesapeake Nine of Baltimore, Rochester, and Potomac BBC of
Washington.

Unfortunately, the OBP festival will be the same weekend so there
will be many openings, but several clubs from the Midwest have
already inquired and one from Minnesota is already confirmed. If you
are interested, let us know so we can make sure to pencil you in one
of the spots...and yes, we do have an "in" to be able to purchase
decent seats for the Sox-O's.

In addition, if any club wants to come see Philadelphia's semi-new
park, the Sox are playing there the weekend of June 12-14. We'd love
for you to come to Elkton to play the Eclipse and maybe one of the
new clubs in the area: The Diamondstate BBC of Wilmington, Delaware
or the Havre de Grace Dauntless. Also, the Chesapeake Nine of
Baltimore would love to play you as well if you are interested. We
have a really good "in" there as well and can get you what ever level
of tickets you want. There may even be a couple of freebees floating
around.

If you could pass this email along to any of the clubs in New
England that are Red Sox rooters who may be interested, we sure would
appreciate it. We hope to hear from you soon if you are interested
or have any questions!
Sincerely,
Bruce Leith
