2014 Toys for Tots tournament preview!

 

 

 

 

2014 United States Marine Corps Reserve

 

"Toys 4 Tots"

 

Palm Springs, California

 

December 13-15

 

Demuth Softball Fields – 4365 Mesquite Palm Springs, California 92262

Big League Dreams Fields – 33700 Date Palm Dr, Cathedral City, California

 

The 14th annual Toys 4 Tots tournament takes place in Palm Springs, California this Friday through Sunday, December 12-14.  The upper division features the 2012 champs Famous, and the 2011 champs Fence Brokers.  There are 24 teams in the tournament which starts with six – four team flights on Saturday and finishes with a single elimination tournament on Sunday.  There are 150 teams across 5 divisions including women's B and D.

Friday night if the rain holds off there is a home run derby.  The Armed Forces All Star game has been cancelled.  I will have the chat room open all weekend for any updates anyone can give.  I actually have cancelled my trip.  I am truly sorry.  I will get out there in the near future, probably next year, when the kids have less things going on.

All Star teams like Fence Brokers with their contingent of Resmondo players and PMG which is loaded with Conference talent are the favorites on paper.  But the last two years have been won by teams that had most of their regular season players on the roster like OC Swats, The Scene, and Famous.  Swats and Scene were co-champs in 2013.  I wouldn't rule out Swats, Famous, Classic Glass, or All American Athletics making a push but the all star teams are the teams to beat.  FBI is my pick to win if they have enough players to finish all of the Sunday games.  ðŸ™‚
