Legislative Bedlam Returns

Members of the State Legislature are warming up for the annual bedlam baseball game between the Senate and the House. The amateur athletes will be slugging it out at the Bricktown Ballpark Tuesday, May 2, after session.

“Everyone is welcome to attend—there’s no charge, but we’re asking for a suggested donation of $5 at the gate to benefit the American Cancer Society,” said Sen. David “Coach Casey” Myers of Ponca City, head coach and manager of the Senate Redhots.

This is the third time the two chambers have battled it out at the Brick. Coach Myers said the Senate still has their secret weapon—Sen. Randy Bass.

“He’s played for the Minnesota Twins, the Kansas City Royals, the Montréal Expos, the San Diego Padres, the Texas Rangers and the Hanshin Tigers in Japan,” Myers said.

“Needless to say, we’re expecting our third straight win, even though we still have some players recovering from injuries from last year’s game,” Myers said. “They’ll still be there cheering us on from the bench.”
The game is expected to begin at 3 p.m.
