Yes I did. I played for a Baltimore team in 2010. We didn't do well but I loved the experience and playing in all those different parks including Terry Park. I would have enjoyed doing that frequently but in 2012 I suffered a neurological illness that left me with nerve damage in my legs and ended my playing days. Prior to that I had done an Orioles fantasy camp in Sarasota, another unofficial Orioles camp at Pirate City and 9 Pirate camps there. I was also playing in a rec league in Baltimore.

Not a new member, but all this talk of first games reminds me of my first Pirates game. 1979 Word Series, my dad got me tickets for game 1 as a birthday present. I grew up in Maryland, so I was an Orioles fan at the time (I eventually saw the light of course) and my dad was always a Pirates fan.
We drove the two and a half hours to the game and...it was snowed out! Broke my ten year old heart, because I didn't think we'd be able to go back again. But the next day after school we made the drive to Baltimore once again! Orioles scored five in the first, and ended up winning 5-4. So I got to see the Orioles win a World Series game, and my dad got to see the Pirates win the series, so we both won.
Really became a Pirates fan in the 80's when I moved there for college, and got to go to games for $5 and an empty Coke can.

Sorry to hear of your physical ailment. I hope you're able to still do many of the things you like to do.
I've been to the Hobbs tourney about eight times and I feel like a kid each time. Playing on those fields is a blast. Currently I play in both the over-60 and the over-65 tournaments over a two week stretch. I'm always impressed by the level of play, especially in the playoff rounds. I'm going to continue to play until my mom calls to say it's time to come in for dinner.

Hobbs started a new six-team tournament last April in Asheville. We had a good time there, too, and are signed-up to return this year. It's a good way to jump start the summer season.

In 2003 I played pretty much the entire year. I had my summer rec league, then a fall league, then a winter indoor league that led up to fantasy camp, then it was almost time to start practicing for the summer rec league. I couldn't get enough. Unfortunately, the indoor winter league folded after 1 season.

Dang, I'm jealous. When I grow up, I want to be like you. Every time I drive past one of those big bubbles, I dream about someone starting an indoor winter league. I'd love to play year 'round, with a two week break every few months just to recharge the battery. I've never played a game that's as much fun to play as baseball.

The indoor league was run by former Oriole Larry Sheets at his facility in Westminster, Md. A great way to spend the winter.
