City Hall Stars To Challenge Kids and Kubs February 3

City Hall Stars to Challenge Kids and Kubs Saturday, February 3

Mayor Rich Kriseman’s City Hall Star softball minions will be seeking revenge Saturday, February 3 at North Shore Park (901 North Shore Blvd, St Petersburg) when they take on the world-renowned Kids and Kubs at 12:00 Noon.

The two teams have been playing tug-of-war with the Mayor’s Trophy awarded to the winner of the annual contest since 2001. The Mayor's team won the trophy in 2016 15-14, on Mayor Rick Kriseman's game winning triple. However, the Kids regained the coveted cup with a 11-10 victory last season.

The game is always competitive and brings together city employees against an organization that has gained national notoriety for the city throughout the past eighty-eight (88) years. The Kids and Kubs are the oldest senior softball organization in the U.S. going back to its founding in 1930.

A 12 Noon starting time has been set for the Mayor’s game. Which will follow a preliminary contest with the TASCO Teen Program facing off against the Kids & Kubs. Annually the Teen Program seeks to defeat the ol’ guys.

Between the softball contest Kids & Kubs Club Secretary Ed Asay will distribute charitable donations to ten local non-profit organizations including: Boys and Girls Club, Friends of the Sunshine Center, Habitat for Humanity Pinellas, Claybaker D.U.S.T.O.F.F Foundation, Neighborly Care Network, Police Athletic League, St Pete Free Clinic, Suncoast Hospice Foundation, TASCO Center Based Teen Center, and Clearwater Free Clinic. Since 1949 over estimated $200,000 has been donated by the Club to local charities.
