Few things can warm a mans heart as much as opening day. This evening your Bachrach BallBusters take the field for there 5th season of existence. A turbulent offseason has brought many changes to the today's opening day lineup and an opportunity for some new stars to shine. Gone are stalwarts Scott "The Babe" Book and Ali "trash Mouth" McGlincy, starting DH Evan "The Truth" Price is opening the season on the 15 day dl, and Alex "Let's get a drink after the game" Roth has retired. Now for the good news. Making her triumphant return after missing last season for personal reasons is Tara "T-Money " Horowitz, she will slide nicely into second base and the clean up role vacated by McGlincy. The team will also return starters Nick "The Franchise" Catalano, Allan "Rubber Arm" Ageman, Kelly "White Shoes" Lepore, Jimmy "The Kid" Sammarco, Oliver MAYS, Lauren "The Hack" Haak and Kim "don't call me Bachrach" Antrosiglio. That core along with a host of new faces who will earn there nicknames along the way, make for the beginning of what will be a very exciting season. Can the BallBusters make the playoffs once again for the 4th time in 5 years? Stay tuned, and if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter!

Dear Fans and Employees of The Bachrach Empire
I want to first thank you for your continued support throughout the years. Hank, Hal and myself look forward to another successful season.
