May 25th – 26th : Austin Castro Concrete Jokers 17th Annual Memorial Day Tournament ; Austin Texas ; Contact Person : John Limon texasisc@gmail.com
On behalf of Our sponsor Mr. & Mrs. Lee Castro Sr., Lee Castro Jr., John Limon Jr., and Rob Abeita and Family along with the 2013 Castro Concrete Jokers Softball Team, We would like to extend an open invitation to any and all Open level Teams and 40 and Over Teams to our 17th Annual Men’s Fastpitch Softball Tournament.
Memorial Weekend has been a tradition in Texas for over 40 years dating back to the Original Jokers and then Hosted by the Austin Braves, Austin Angels, Austin Athletics and then back to the Castro Concrete Jokers.
This year’s Tournament is dedicated to two fallen Jokers who we recently lost.
Joker Pitcher Big John Limon and Joker Catcher Robert “ Pinaco “ Abeita.
Both were members of the Original 1962 Jokers Athletic Club.
I myself have decided to host this this Tournament one last time in memory of my Father. 17 years ago I began hosting the Memorial Day Tournament, and I truly cherish this Great event, we have had many great memories. This year is going to be special to me and I hope everyone can come out and join us. I’m extending this invitation to all 40 and over teams to come to this year’s Tournament mainly because these are players I’ve played against and players who may remember my father. I also would hope that maybe you could bring out some of the retired players. We have invited retired Jokers to come out Saturday Night to have a meet and greet kind of thing so that they and we can catch up on old memories
The weekend is filled with not yet the hottest of Texas heat, cooler weather sometimes a little rain (bite my tongue) and lots of shade. A Great Concession Stand, your normal ballpark food along with a little Tex – Mex flavor, the tacos and the hot sauce will keep you coming back. You can also bring out your own pits and have you own cook-out.
Great Fastball fans who really know and love the game. Good competition, teams from Austin, Baytown, Houston, Manor, San Antonio, Mexico and possibly Oklahoma. Good Old Time Men’s Fastpitch at it’s finest, as we say in Texas ya’ll come on down and we’ll show you a good time.
Thank You ,
Your Friend in Fastpitch
