There's $4,495 of Gold Up in Them Inwood Hills

In 1848 Gold was discovered in California and a Gold rush took place. Hence, the expression "There's Gold Up in Them Hills" was coined (excuse the corny $$ reference).

Last weekend there was Gold up in Inwood Hill Park, Hearts of Gold that is

as numerous people and players both from above


and below 96th street




gave their time, generous donation dolars , and effort into making the 1st ever

"B/C It's More Than Just a Game" Charity Tournament

a very good event.



As the Competition and Players were Good






Enthusiasm was High from Beginning to End




People Played to Win








Leadership was on display

Dio Jackson came out of retirement and was on a mission to Fight Cancer

Renegades were Warriors

and The Behavior/Sportsmanship Mostly Good








as the softball and Inwood Community Good was out in Full Force




to Fight Cancer.

There were some mistakes that next year we will address:

• Extra Innings Rule. Game One Bizcocheros vs. Rondas Grocery was 13 innings. Draining
• Seeding, Byes, and Hispanic start time
• Ejection Rule - How can anyone get ejected in a Cancer Charity Event?
• Timing - How come every time Lochness Monster TD stepped away something happened?

But the good so far exceeded the bad as at the end of the day the Event Raised an
Impressive  Pot of Gold 

for The Cancer Research Institute "CRI", http://www.cancerresearch.org/ 

As my donation page currently has $4,495!!!!! on it

That so far exceeded my goals and dreams. 

As for the Winner of the Event, that honor went to Ronda's Grocery, 


led by Tourney MVP Knuckle Lou Robles and Manager Dio Jackson

I have so many people to thank for this event as mad people showed love and respect.

• All The Donors
• All The Volunteers
• All The Managers - Jason, Larry, Joseph, Eddie, John Rosenmiller, and Dio
• All the Players

Cancer is relentless and everyone's dedication to making this event a success was Relentless.

It's Never Over.
