St. Patrick’s Men’s Softball League

Back in 1982, Dr. Joe Smith, with the help and encouragment of then Pastor Rev. John D. Mott, started the St. Patrick Parish Men’s Softball League.  The league was fomed to encourage community and friendship and is open to parishioners and non-parishioners.  The games are structured to be serious, fun and safe. 

2007 marked the league’s 25th anniversary.  Over that time, the league has grown from 4 to 12 teams, and now comprises 2 divisions.  Division "B" is for 40 year olds and over (4 teams), and Division "A" is for 39 year olds and under (8 teams.)  Every team makes the first round of the playoffs.  There is also a picnic for all our players, their family and friends at the end of the season.  Time permiting, there is a final championship game between the two division winners.

General League Information

How Can I Join the St. Patrick’s Men’s Softball League:

There is an annual registration for current and any interested new players that would like to join the league starting in March or April of each year.  If you are interested in playing, contact any of the Team Managers listed below or Charles Modica.

St. Patrick Softball League Teams:

The St. Patrick Parish Men’s Softball League is divided into two divisions:

Division A is for players 39 of age and under.
Division B is for players 40 and over.

Games are generally played on the sports fields behind St. Patrick School. There are also games scheduled to be played at the Maple Avenue Park.  Weekday games generally start at 6:30 PM or 6:45 PM.  Sunday games generally start at 5 PM and are 7 inning doubleheaders.  During doubleheaders, the team listed first has the choice of which game they want as a home game. 

RAINOUTS- Managers must call Anthony Castellano at least one hour before game time at either (cell) 934-2915 or (home) 361-9497.

Picnic and Playoffs- At the end of the playing season, typically in late July or early August, the League will hold a picnic at the sport fields behind St. Patrick’s School.  The grills are fired up, cold beverages abound and all teams in the league are entered to play in the play off series. Finally, time permitting, the division winners face off for the season capper.

Safety Notes- The competion should never get to a point where anyone gets injured.  There is a safety base at first base (one base for the runner and one base for the fielder,) and there is a safe line at home plate to avoid collisions.  No player touches the plate, they just have to pass the line before the throw arrives to the catcher.  Sliding is kept to a minimum.  These rules are in place to keep everyone injury free and to avoid contact between the players.  Catchers are required to wear a mask.
