We love baseball.

First and foremost, the organizers of this tournament love the game. From the "ting" of an aluminum bat; and the dirty, dusty uniform of a player as he heads to the dugout; to the smell of hot dogs. The sounds, the sights, the smells, all add up to baseball.

Jerry Gardziel grew up loving baseball. Providing his players an opportunity to showcase their talent is what convinced Jerry Gardziel to create this tournament in 1985. It is what keeps this tournament going year after year.
