Play Ball! Court Street and Smith Street to Basebrawl for Charity

The Brooklyn Eagle brings us word that Alex at Fish Tales is putting together a charity softball game:

Alex Ortiz, one of the friendly fish purveyors at Fish Tales (191A Court Street), is a man with a plan. He is busy organizing a softball game at the Red Hook ball fields between the merchants of Court Street and the merchants of Smith Street to benefit Heights and Hill Community Council, which provides services for Brooklyn’s elderly. Players donate cash and/or goods for sale at the game — there is no minimum, Ortiz explained — and customers are invited to the field to cheer their favorite players on. “The winning team gets a trophy for bragging rights,” Ortiz said. To join the fun, Smith and Court Street merchants are invited to call Alex Ortiz at 347 538-2428.
