KIDS AND KUBS OPEN 94th SEASON, TUESDAY, October 31, 9:30 AM
| Club members will appear in the traditional ceremonial uniform shirt and black bow tie. |
Opening game ceremonies begin at 9:30 AM, with a colorful flag presentation, accompanied by the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Oh Canada" at North Shore Park, 901 North Shore Drive. The ball field is adjacent to the St. Petersburg Aquatic Center at the Park.
Opening the 94th season with first-pitch honors is 94-year-old Ethel Lehmann. A member of the Club since 2004 and the Women's Softball Hall of Fame Member in 2008. National Senior Softball Game awards include 4 Gold, 4 Silver, and 2 Bronze medals, and will handle ceremonial first pitch duties.
Club members will parade in the traditional ceremonial uniform shirt and black bow tie. The tie became a trademark of the Club early in its 94-year existence. Long ties were an impediment to fielding ground balls, and the bow tie was out of the way, close to the collar, and much easier to manage. The clip-on bow tie of today makes neither fielding nor tying an issue.
Under the direction of a nine-member Board, the four teams within the Club call North Shore Park their home, with games every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, beginning at 10 AM. Admission is free.
