13 March 2296 - Let the Games Begin!
It's the day you have all been waiting for, baseball fans! CBO ball is back as we throw out the first pitch for the 2297 baseball season. Today begins the Battle for the North Tournament at The Slog's Tarberry Field Forever and the Battle for the South tournament at Diamond City's The Great Green Jewel.
The honor of throwing the first pitch in each tournament goes to University Point starter Qunetin Malone against County Crossing Bloodbugs leadoff hitter LF Tom Mastodon and Lexington starter Pete Pembroke against the Finch Farm Four Leafs leadoff hitter CF Ginger Rogers.
In addition to the 12:05 first pitch times for the County Crossing-University Point and Finch Farm-Lexington games, preceding the 4:05 game in the Battle for the South Tournament, The Slog will unfurl its 2296 CBO Championship banner for its stadium and fans.
The banners for the winners of each tournament are also prepared (shown below) with the names, logos, and leagues of each team being patched on once the tournament is done.
