PHONE # FOR RAIN OUTS! Rain line number is 703-228-4715 - this is the Arlington County Rain Line. Please listen carefully to the whole message! If a team doesn't show up because they think they have a rain out, when in fact they have a game, it will count as a forfeit! Just because it is raining elsewhere, doesn't mean it is raining at the fields.
Crystal City Sports Pub will be the 2008 headquarters. Thanks to John Finlay for all his support! The league headquarters is more than just a place to swill beer after the game and ice down those aching, aging muscles. It is where we raise money for the charities. Remember this is a charity league and supporting Washington DC area charities is one of our goals. The Pub will be offering a variety of specials to the midtown faithful including Half-Price Burgers (w/Fries) and Half-Price Wings, Miller Lite -- $2.50 drafts, $10 pitchers, $2.75 bottles, $13.75 buckets of bottles and Pilsner Urquel -- $3.50 drafts, $15 pitchers.
