On September 18, 2010 the NYPD Blues hosted their 4th Annual Baconball Tournament. Due to three other tournaments which overlapped our tournament we only had 6 teams participate. The following teams attended South Florida Lawmen, NYPD Blues, Suffolk County PD, Detective Bureau Queens, NYPD D Sun, and The Bullets. We had great weather and the complex is a brand new astro turf infield with (4) state of the art fields. The day started with the bracket play with the Florida Lawmen and the NYPD Blues winning their respected brackets. Both finishing 2-0. The DBQ team and the Suffolk PD team 1-1 and the D Sun and Bullets 0-2.
In the first round of double elimination the DBQ team beat the Bullets and the Suffolk PD team beat The Bullets. This brought a DBQ VS NYPD Blues and Florida Lawmen VS Suffolk County, which then set up a battle of undefeated teams the Blues VS South Florida. South Florida Lawmen beating the Blues. DBQ then played D Sun and The D Sun team knocked out DQB the Suffolk PD played The Bullets and Suffolk beat D Sun. Suffolk PD then beat D Sun and this set up The Blues VS Suffolk PD. The Blues beat the Sufolk PD. setting up a winners bracket final game South Florida VS NYPD Blues, and the South Florida Lawmen prevailed beating the Blues for the second time and winning the 4th Annual NYBB.
The day was filled with plenty of food, beer, and competitive softball games and this could not have been as successful without the hard work of Jack Olsen (Mr. Baconball). The Blues will be changing their date to June 4-5 2011 to avoid overlapping of tournaments and we will be honoring the fallen heroes of 911, and it's 10th year anniversary.
The MVP of our tournament was Manny Miranda who hit over 600 and pitched lights out and played the middle incredible.
