The mission of the Bethesda Community Base Ball Club is to improve the quality of youth baseball and softball fields in Montgomery County and the District of Columbia. In the past eight years, we have raised $440,000 at this event. Every dollar has been dedicated to improving youth fields. Every donation of $250 or more will receive not only four tickets to the event but also a family pass for the 2009 Big Train season.

Homer Hits the Streets!
The Big Train and Homer helped christen the new Bethesda Little League on Saturday, April 12th. Homer was joined by several dignitaries including Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett who threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The Big Train was proud to support the new league and was responsible for funding the brand new fence that will serve as the league's outfield wall at North Chevy Chase Park.
