Lonzo's Softball and Friends est. 1975

Slow pitch softball memories!!! Squatchfest 2024 is this Saturday afternoon, September 28th—the annual party at Cutters in Belleville. It's open to all who played slow pitch softball and all of the brave souls who came out and watched, partied and hung out with us. We remember those who are no longer here except in our hearts and in the stories that keep their memories with us.

Today the infamous Lonzo turns 65! He says he wishes he would have taken up all the bets with buddies in the day that he wouldn't make it to 50. Happy Birthday ol boy, and prove us wrong and make it another 30.
