Tons of Toys...

The Mustangs teamed up with Children's Hospital and at our Christmas Party we gathered toys and TODAY was delivery Day!


The Children's Hospital has on any one day 100-150 children staying at the facility. The Hospital gives gifts to these children all year, not just at Christmas. But Christmas is a special time and not a time that most kids want to be in the hospital. Can you imagine the stress that the parents must feel with a sick child and at Christmas?

Children's had the hospital decorated up for Santa's big day and the children we saw looked happy, of course they were on their way home!






A representative of the Hospital met Rin when he pulled in to thank him and the Birmingham Mustangs for the donation.


She looked at how many toys we had and asked if we could deliver them to their warehouse!


Which we did, and then we unloaded the trailer posed for a couple of pics




And left grateful for the thinks that God has given us !

Remember how fortunate we are to have healthy children, remember all that we spend playing this sport we love, and then remember those who are not as fortunate or are sick at this time of the year... then give.

Miustangs 96 take 2nd in 14U Tournament

The Birmingham Mustangs 96 Played in the 14U age bracket in Fultondale this last weekend and managed to take 2nd Place to the 14U Silver Bullets. The Mustangs went undefeated until the final game where they lost to the Bullets.

It was a fun day of softball until that last game but once again the Mustangs showed that they could play with the older girls!

All that great softball would not have been possible without our favorite cheerleader who cheered us on to victory...

Big Opening Weekend for The Mustang Organization!

While the 96 Mustangs had the weekend off, the 97 Mustangs along with the 98 10U Mustangs and the 8U Mustangs played in the Kickoff Classic at Hoover Central!

The 8U Mustangs in their first tournament went undefeated for the day! Bringing home the Championship Trophy was a big deal for these newcomers to Travel Ball!

The team had a lot of fun and is looking forward to more tournaments!

The 10U 98 Mustangs did well making it to the semi-finals and lost to the eventual winners of the tournament, the Bay City Bombers by the score of 2-1. It was a tough loss after leading the whole game but the team made a GREAT showing in their first tournament!

The 12U 97 Mustangs Played great the whole day! In the Championship game against the Cruisers they fell behind 3-0 only to make a 5 run ralley and go ahead 5-3 but the Cruisers were not through yet... with only 1 out between the Mustangs and victory, the Cruisers scored to win the Championship. The Mustangs should be proud of their 2nd place finish on their first tournament ever!

Congratulations to all the Mustang teams! It looked great seeing all the red and blue at Hoover Central this weekend!

Mustang against Mustangs

Yes, The Birmingham Mustangs are part of different teams. Especially at school where they play a variety of different sports... such as Volleyball.

On Wednesday, September 3rd Hueytown played North Jefferson in volleyball. It happens that Shelby B and Delaney W are on the Hueytown Teams and Shelby M is on the North Jefferson Team. While on the court it was all business, they found time to hug and spend some time together like teammates.


After all... it always GO Mustangs in the end...
