field and watch the non-stop action. All is needed is a folding chair and five hours of your precious time. “Right now, everybody pitches in to buy equipment and to keep the league up and running,” said Kelly O’ Connor, another co-founder of the league. “We all play by basic rules of the game and we all have fun. It’s a group thing and a family thing when it comes to play- ing softball in our league. This is fun and recreational
for all of us.” One umpire runs each game in the league. Stealing bases are not allowed, but a player can advance to a base once the batter makes contact with the ball in the infield. The seven-run rule is ap- plied as a team per inning can score a maximum of six runs. Blowouts are allowed and players are also allowed to talk trash as long as it doesn’t become physical.

Creek neighborhood com- munity. Free hot dogs and sodas were given out to all people that attended. Since the operation of the league, 20% of the leagues fees and donations given by the play- ers are given to the Ronald McDonald House of Phila- delphia. Also there are many players in the league who do volunteer work at the Ron- ald McDonald House. “This is done to help others in need,” said Mike King, another co-founder of the league. “Even though we need financial help with our league, we love helping other people in need. Plus, we know the softball com- munity has a huge heart and the people in the community would rally around a league that puts a portion of the league dues back into the areas in which they play.” Going into Week # 3 of the Philadelphia Adult League Softball, the eight teams that make up the league’s One Division were all standing strong. Devil’s Alley (a team put together by its Devil’s Alley Center City restaurant located near 20th Chestnut Street) is currently undefeat- ed and sitting in first place with a record of 3-0. Then comes the Cavanaugh Sports Bar softball team (another restaurant establishment lo- cated near 18th and Sansom Street) is current sitting in second place with a record of 2-0. In third place, the Ball Breakers (a team made up of a bunch of individual free agent players from around the city) are sitting pretty with a record of 2-1. Tied with the ball The Break-
