2 Alumni Softball Events

Today and on July 11, the newly formed Alumni Association sponsored two undergraduate vs. alumni softball games. In total, over 35 brothers participated in the two games, which were played at the Belmont Plateau fields at Fairmount Park. Brad Hoffman (2007) was the main organizing force behind the events, but special thanks yous to Dan Grossmann (1983) and Jeff Silverman (1986) for bringing drinks for each game. It was a great time and proof that Jews can indeed play sports.
