Bristol Badgers home opener 15 May 2011
Badgers home opener 15 May 2011
The Badgers had our home opener on the Failand grounds on Sunday 15 May. Several days of hard work by some club members made our diamond one of the most unique in Britain, complete with foul poles down the lines, and our logo behind home plate. The home opener was well supported, and we hope to see you there again soon!

The Bristol Badgers turned out to give their support to the Pitbulls campaign to keep the Bristol ice rink open. The rink has been open for 45 years but the owners have announced they will close it in October 2012. It is the only ice rink within a 40 mile radius and has been home to many ice hockey and figure skaters over the years, including gold medal winner Robin Cousins. The Badgers and other organisations in the city have rallied in support of maintaining the ice rink to encourage active participation in sports of all kinds.
Some members of the Bristol Badgers had the opportunity to meet with global megastar David Hasslehoff
“The Hoff” had been appearing in the pantomime Peter Pan at the Bristol Hippodrome, starring as Captain Hook (beware all you starting pitchers!) and some members of he Badgers, winners of the regular season AAA South division last summer, were able to talk baseball and other sports with him.
