TCMABL's finest across 18, 28 & 35+ age divisions were on display tonight at Ali Magnet Park in Burnsville. Two well played & closely contested All Star Games marked the start of what's sure to be a great second half of season. Thanks to all managers, players & fans who attended!
TCMABL "trolling" is cute and all but if you have issues w/ the league or teams:
✅attend a board meeting & speak up
✅volunteer if you can do things better
✅keep your head down & just play ball
✅beat em in the boxscore
✅throw at anyone in a Astros shirt or uniform
Thank you
Coming out of today’s March Board of Director’s meeting, here are the results of the Divisional Draft for the 18+ and 28+ divisions. Going to be another fun and competitive summer. Good luck to all teams!

...and since the Grays are leaving, I’ve been asked to step down my communication duties for the league. It was great getting to know you all, help, answer questions & monitor the Juice/Jax drama. I put my heart and soul into this league to make it better. Ah, good times. ☮️❤️⚾️

Congrats to the Sea Donkeys on capturing their first TCMABL Championship Cup!
Farewell Dan Nalepka - Fridley 🐯Tigers - as he steps down as manager. 148-81 as Tigers skipper, taking home a TCMABL Championship in 2015. He also walks away with a 43-20, 3.73 ERA boxscore on the bump. Nalepka was always willing to help the league in times of need. Thanks 55.
Congratulations to VP Matt Stengal and his wife Heidi as they welcome their new Mothers Day gift - Ada Mae Stengel - 8lbs 13oz 21inch, Bats Left, Throws Right. Mom and baby girl are doing well. ⚾️🎀
As part of today’s board meeting, a new league logo & special 25th Anniversary logo to commemorate our 25th season were unveiled. Both logos will be made available on a variety of apparel items coming soon. Special thanks to designer Steve Bubb for donating his time & talents.
Live look at our Winter Meetings. 😂 I appreciate all the debate & activity with stats. But if people put that same energy into volunteering and helping our league w/ finding fields, teams, players, vendors this league could be even better.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone in our little baseball universe. We appreciate everyone involved in our league this past year and next - except that one umpire with the fluctuating strike zone. 🤪
It was a great week for the TCMABL! Congrats to our fearless and humble leader,

Opening Day is cancelled because of....rain! Yeah, rain and poor field conditions. That’s it. Enjoy your day inside everyone. Hopefully we will jump over the foul line soon. 💙 Shoutout to the Bar Rescue marathon and 90 Day Fiancé for making Covid Sunday’s less painful.
Couldn’t ask for a better weather day to kickoff the TCMABL playoffs. Rich Vanderlaan field at Ali Magnet Park in Burnsville doesn’t look too shabby either 👌🏻
