In 1977, BASL began with 12 teams, each sponsored by and named after iconic West Village bars: Badlands, Boot Hill, Kelly’s, Crossroads, Eagle’s Nest, Boots and Saddles, Nickle Bar, Numbers, Ramrod, Spike’s, Wildwood and Ty’s. Ty’s is the only one of those legendary bars still standing.

This Saturday, May 16th, Ty’s and Ty’s Jesters will open its doors for BASL.

Ty’s is a cozy establishment therefore we will be looking to do a co-event in the area. More details to come and if you are in the area, stop by and celebrate an important part of BASL history.

Happy *50th Season* BASL.
What began as a 12 team league in 1977 has grown into a two conference league with 7 divisions, 35 teams and over 700 players. 50 seasons is a major accomplishment and we could not have done it without all of you. As cliche as it is, we stand on the shoulders of so many that came before us and we extend our hands to raise those coming after us. 50 years of community and counting and the rest is still unwritten. Have an amazing season!
