The AAA Threshers took some time to celebrate the end of the regular season with a trip to the snack bar for a team meal and slushies as they took in the Knights v. Rubberducks AAA contest. Way to go Threshers and good luck in the playoffs!

On Saturday, May 14 the Alameda Challenger Division held a Play Ball event with the Alameda High School varsity baseball team at Lincoln Park. Mayor Trish Spencer was also in attendance helping out. The Albany Little League Challenger Divison joined in with the fun. The Challenger players worked with the high school players, held a short game and ended the event with a bbq.

Today was Padres throwback day at the Little League fields. The Padres played the Blue Jays in a rain-out make-up game wearing their throwback jerseys. Team Manager, Cloud Schnoebelen, had reached out to the Padres for some swag to give the players. To his suprise the Padres sent the team a set of jerseys and hats. Awesome look team!

Alameda Little League Night at the Oakland A's is SOLD OUT.

Alameda Little League Night at the Oakland A's is scheduled for Friday, May 27. Make plans to join 500 of your closest friends as the A's host the Detroit Tigers. This is a Friday game with a 7:05 start. This is a great event and everyone has a great time. Seat location is in the Plaza Reserved level in outfield.

This year we are unable to give out free tickets. However, we are able to keep the game really affordable. Player tickets are $8.00 and Adults are $12.00 each. Tickets are on a first come first serve basis. Because we only have 500 tickets, tickets are limited to 20 per team. Once these 500 are gone, they are gone. Let your manager know immediately if you plan on attending. Managers will collect payment and distribute tickets to their teams.

The USS Hornet Museum will have Clementine at the Little League fields on Saturday, May 7 from the opening pitch of the first games until 6:30pm. What is Clementine? Clementine is a restored, non-operable, F-8U Crusader cockpit for the kids to touch and pretend they are pilots. They will be able to climb up into the seat for a photo-op. The control stick moves and it has a full instrument panel. Docents from the Hornet will be on-hand. Clementine went into service in 1963 and was retired in 1968. The aircraft was dismantled and the cockpit section was used as a pilot ground familiarization trainer. Her home is now the USS Hornet Museum.

The USS Hornet Museum is a museum ship in Alameda, California, USA. It is composed of the USS Hornet (CV-12) aircraft carrier, exhibits from the NASA Apollo moon exploration missions, and several retired aircraft from the Second World War and the transonic and early supersonic jet propulsion period. The flight deck, hangar deck, and first deck below are open for self-guided tours. Docent-led tours of the ship's interior are also available. This ship embodies Alameda's rich naval history and helps bridge the past to the present. The USS Hornet Museum is located at Alameda Point and is open daily from 10:00-5:00.

Alameda Little League is extremely pleased to have the USS Hornet as a sponsor, and even more pleased that we can partner in this event for the kids. This is what it’s all about.
