B4C Baseball 60+ Fall Classic
Join us for the B4C Baseball 60+ Fall Classic taking place on October 14, 2023, at The John Carroll School in Bel Air, MD. This venue offers a state-of-the-art all turf playing surface.
Each player will play a minimum of 18 innings (three 7 inning games or two 9 inning games) depending on the final number of players. Games will be fantasy camp style rules (no stealing). Players will be assigned to teams with a goal of achieving a competitive balance. We will seek to accommodate playing requests amongst friends but will generally limit those to groups of two or three.
All participants will receive a shirt and lunch as part of the $195 player fee. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Baseball 4 Causes' Gear 4 Kids program.
If you are interested in participating in this event, please complete the interest form.
Fall 2023 Recap
Never Stop Playing!
You don't stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop playing!
Age is a question of mind over matter, If you don't mind, it don't matter.

Spread the Word
Please share this link with other over 60 baseball players. We are interested in hearing from individual players, groups of friends, and teams who might like to participate in an B4C Baseball Over 60 Series event.
B4C Baseball Cooperative Approach
B4C events will be designed in consideration of existing local leagues and organizations, such as HMBL, DCMSBL, DBW, JSB, and others. The intent of B4C Baseball is to create additional opportunities for people to play together in unique formats and neat venues. You should continue to participate in the events and leagues that you already do. We will seek to coordinate with the leadership of various groups to help avoid duplication of times and locations, to avoid logistical conflicts.
Share Your Thoughts

Even if you're not yet 60 or not able or interested in playing, your input is still valuable. We would like you to share your ideas on what you think about the B4C Baseball Over 60 Series and how it could be structured/promoted. We would also like to hear about worthwhile causes that we could help support.
