Blue Ridge Spring Dinger
About
The Blue Ridge Spring Dinger is for 60+, 65+, 70+ & 75+ year old baseball players to shake the winter rust off before their leagues begin. This is a very unique tournament played at a youth complex designed for ballplayers 17 and under. The fields we use are full size infield (60/90) but have shorter outfield fences, putting the home run back in the realm of possibility for some. For the 75s division we play on fields with 200′ fences and 75′ bases.
