BGRA Baseball started in 1961, In 1994 we started our Buddy league which allows children with intellectual and/or physical (dis)abilities to play baseball by partnering them with our wonderful able-bodied buddies. The buddies help their players as needed, whether it be pointing to where the ball should be thrown, helping them run bases, or just sharing in the fun. All BGRA members and players are encouraged to experience a Buddy Ball game either as a participant or spectator and discover what the joy of baseball is all about. 

Buddy Ball is split into two leagues:
Junior Buddy Ball (Age 5-14) – Play from late April thru end of June. Games are generally played Wednesdays @ 6 p.m. and Saturdays @ 9:30 a.m

Senior Buddy Ball (Age 15+) – Play from late April thru end of July. Games are generally played Thursdays @ 6 p.m. and Saturdays @ 11 a.m.

All players will also participate in our annual All Star Game at Jay Jones field on Saturday, June 24th.

A jersey, baseball pants, and hat are included in the registration fee of $85. To register click on the “Registration” link at the bottom of the page.

The Buddy ball season will start on Sat. April 27th. We will post a more detailed schedule soon.
