History of the BBSSL

Few people probably know that the Baltimore Senior Softball League is entering its 26th year. It all began in 1986, with four teams, namely: the Howard County Seniors (which became the Maryland Old Liners in 1990); Dundalk; Greenbelt; and, Montgomery County. For more details about the history of our league, which was compiled by our benevolent commission Jim Ganz with input from several managers, please click on this link: LINK

BSSL Records and Standings

Over the past several seasons, Rich Costa, who plays for the Howard Hitters, has designed and prepared a very creative and useful document which he has entitled BSSL Records and Standings. It includes the results of the scheduled games as to wins and losses, the number of times teams have beaten each other and the resulting standings by division. As I have in the past, I intend to included this report in this space throughout the season. Click HERE to see what it'll look like this year with 18 teams. The actual scores, of course, will be shown in the Schedules and Scores tab at the top of this page.
