Senior Rostering: To be included in the MBC rosters on the BBF site for the 2012 season (and therefore to be eligible to play for the teams) you must either reactivate your account on BBF - for people who registered last year using your old username and password. If you have forgotten it you can reset it here. Or register (for new members), you can do that here - remember to apply to join MBC too (found after registering and logging in). We can then roster you (once your fees / subs are paid) to one of the MBC teams. If you are still confused, BSUK have more details on (re)registering here. 29/01/12

BBF League Rules: Recent events (including forfeits, rain-outs and questions over use of DH) have highlighted the need for managers and players to have read the league bye-laws and handbook. It is advisable for all teams to have a copy of each at the game. Do not expect the umpire to know these league rules, their job is to apply the laws of baseball during the game, not league rules that mostly apply before the game starts. The bye-laws (2003) and handbook (2008) are available from the BSUK downloads section. 23/04/09
Match Day: As well as helping set up (and taking down) the field, can all team members remember to clear their rubbish away after matches, its our responsiblity to clean up the field (both dugouts), and each team should take bin liners to matches for rubbish collection. 04/06/07
Training: Takes place during the season (April-Sept.) at Wythenshawe Park (behind Athletics Track), South Manchester, M23 0PH. Seniors main training is Thursdays from 6.30pm until its dark. Tactics and analysis takes place afterwards in a local bar. Weather forecast 17/03/02
