Thank you Rails Inn, The Salty Dog (2 teams), Day Drink Inn, Golden Lion, Redbar, The 13th Pour and Dale Z’s. A shoutout goes out to our umpires, Dave and Bob for a great job this year! Also many thanks to the office and staff of the Milwaukee Public Schools for reuniting with us after a 10 years passing and providing a new home for our league in 2025. And special thanks to our team managers who work hard week in and week out to put competitive teams on the field. Thank you Wicho from Dale Z’s, Nick Banks from the 13th Pour, Jim Mallas from Day Drink Inn, Leo Lopez from Rails Inn, Jay Tuma from Golden Lion, Anthony Tyler from Salty Dog 2, Rob Kochnowicz from Redbar, Sixto Martinez and Dan Edwards from Salty Dog 1. 🥎 This will be my final Facebook post for the Southside Sunday Softball League. After 12 years, I’ve decided to move on from running this league on Sundays. I leave with a lot of great memories from playing, managing, administrating and most importantly, socializing with some great people that I met along the way. Jim Mallas has expressed his interest in running this league next year. And there’s no doubt in my mind that this league will be in good hands with Jim. I wish everyone a safe and healthy off season. - Ross S. Mallas 🥎
