All games for Tango thru Alpha are held Monday to Thursday and played at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center. Games start at 5:30pm or 6pm, depending on whether or not there is a double header on that field.
Live Like Sam
This year ALJB is dedicating our season to Sam DeKuiper who lost his life in a car crash last May. Sam graduated from TC West Senior High where he played baseball and football, and played ALJB. His college baseball jersey number 6 is on all of our uniforms this year to remind us to be kind and generous to one another as Sam was. Follow his families journey using this link. "Live Like Sam"
