Ballbarians

First Place

Kickball - Wednesdays (Fall '23)

“Ballbarians” are the Downtown Kickball Champions of the Fall ‘23 Season, after defeating “Kickland Signatrure” 5-2!

It was a cool, crisp November night when the reigning champions, the “Ballbarians”, took on the “Kickland Signature” team. It was a tale of two teams, both shaking in their cleats — wondering if the rain was going to impact such a highly anticipated game.


As visitors, the “Ballbarians” got out to a 1-0 lead at the top of the first. But “Kickland Signature” battled back in the bottom of the first, to make it 1-2. Scoreless for the next 3 innings, due to Jaime’s inability to make it home before the ball got to the catcher, the “Ballbarians” knew they were up against the clock. Then… dramatic pause… the “Ballbarians” rallied back. As the rain fell from the sky, this champion team had a fire lit inside them — both keeping them warm, and helping them bounce back.


As the mild rain, as KCRA Chief Meteorologist Mark Finan would say, fell down… the “Ballbarians” became unstoppable. The score was tied… then it was 3-2… and then Jaime redeemed himself, hitting a 2-run RBI to bring the total up to 5-2.
They may be able to buy in bulk, but the bulk of the “Kickland Signature” team wasn’t able to compete with the rally the barbaric “Ballbarians” had created. Crowning them champions as the midtown and downtown leagues, back to back, with a combined undefeated record of 18-0.

Congratulations to “Ballbarians” on becoming the Downtown Kickball Champions of the Fall ‘23!
