Teams
Fenway
Fenway is a fun, exciting, longstanding team in BAWL with a great mix of new and returning players each season. We welcome folks of all skill levels, from beginner to more experienced, and are happy to work with folks to learn the beautiful game of softball! For Fenway, the most important part of the team each year is to spend some time together in the summer sun and play a game we all love. While we love to win, we love the journey too! We’re always happy to connect outside of games, whether it’s for practice, time at the batting cages, or snacks, drinks, and picnics after we play. If it sounds like a good fit, feel free to reach out to the league and ask to join us. We hope to meet you and see you out there on the field!

Goats
The Goats have quite the distinguished – and colorful – history in BAWL, having appeared in every possible division multiples times. One of the oldest teams in the league, we are perhaps best known in recent times for our turnaround from an 0-14 season to finishing at the top of the division. The Goats like to create opportunities for laughs as well victories. Over the years, we have welcomed players of all stripes, experience, and energy to our team. We regularly gather for team BBQs and have been known to compete to find the best wine with the name "goat" in it. (You might be surprised at how many choices are out there.)

Lucky Pitches
Lucky Pitches is a blend of new and returning players who have one thing in common: a love of the game. We might vary in ability and competitiveness, but we all love hanging out on a sunny day, crushing a ball or two, getting dirty and having a couple of drinks after. We want to win, and we often do, but don't take the game or ourselves too seriously. We genuinely like hanging out as a team, whether we're going to Paw Sox games, attending pool parties, hanging out in the off-season, or having theme parties. The Lucky Pitches are always looking for new, skilled players that are looking to have fun and play ball.

Mamas
The Mamas are one of the BAWL’s oldest teams – we’ve been around since the beginning, and we’ve seen it all. We take softball pretty seriously, and we’re always contending for a championship at the end of the season. But, we also like to stick together and have fun. We have a good mix of ages on our team. Some Mamas have been playing together since some other Mamas were in high school. A few of us played softball in college, and all of us played competitive sports in college or high school.

Red Scare
As a member of BAWL for over 25 years, Red Scare is one of the original teams in the league. The team was very recreational in its beginnings but, over the years, has become much more competitive and is usually one of the top teams in the B division. We have a solid core of players, some of whom have played together for over a decade and others who’ve joined the team over the past 5 years. What keeps us together is our addiction to playing softball and that we love to have fun. As a team, we won’t be the last ones standing at the bar (although some of us could be), but we’re definitely a great group of people to hang out with. We have a lot of returning players but are looking for a few people to round out our roster.

Showstoppers
Showstoppers is a compassionate and passionate group of athletes that have their own reasons for playing. Some love the sport and grew up playing it while others are simply here for the camaraderie. All levels are welcome and coaching is provided! We’re big fans of winning and will cheer wildly and loudly when great plays are made (including for the other team by some of us). But we’re even bigger fans of having a good time. Our after party games are everyone’s favorite, sharing good cheer, merriment, and laughter. Lots of laughter.
Sweet and Sour
Sweet & Sour, being the new team in the league, was welcomed with opened arms and we appreciate that. Sweet & Sour is a mix of positive attitude and mixed personalities. We are a very active, loud, supportive, humble, welcoming team and we mean no harm. We love playing softball — if we could we would play all year long. Some of us were a part of the Hot Mess Team (thank you, Hot Mess) previously. Most of us have been playing together for about 13 yrs. We have also recruited some new players as well. Whether you know the game or you don't, we are here to help one another and enjoy the game. Whether we win or lose we still celebrate and stay positive. Our 1st season (in 2024) has been great and we will stay positive that we will stay in the league with God 1st. If anyone wants to be a part of the team you can reach out to us or anyone in the league.
