Community At Bat

Oct 23, 2017 | Events

It was a glorious, sunny day in late October for our first annual Community At Bat softball game on Memorial Field, in Great Barrington. Team captains Jennifer Tabakin, G.B Town Manager (2 hits!) and Senator Adam Hinds created some serious, fun-filled competition with community members and Town staff players. Rep. Smitty Pignatelli kept everyone on their toes with fun-filled jibes and his wickedly quick wit. Taylor Slonaker, Monument Mountain High junior, beautifully belted out the National Anthem and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” in the stretch. Peter Dillon’s base running was not to be rivaled. Adam Hinds (MVP?) and Jim Harwood, CDC Board President, got into a slug fest of home runs, with Leigh Davis right behind – cars on Bridge Street ducking for cover. Close to $5,000 was raised for the CDC’s affordable housing and job creation work, and the Cracker Jacks and North Plain Farm sausage were flowing!  Spring Training anyone?
