March 10, 2011 : Bisbee, Arizona Territories.
As Spring approaches the Queen Mining Camp in the Mule Mountains, the lads in blue prepare to take up bats against the other clubs from the Arizona Territories Vintage Base Ball League. Scheduled for March 19 and 20, the Bees will play in 3 Matches and will be filmed on Japanese Public Television! A nice lady from BBI World TV contacted Scrap Iron via telegram to discuss recording the matches at the ball park in Lowell, and the history of the young league. As excitement grows, we welcome our New Friends from the Land of the Rising Sun, and wish them all a hearty and heart-felt Huzzah!!!

Bees Cross Bats with Old Friends and New Foes
Glendale Township, A.T.
With a cool breeze blowing, the lads in blue assembled on the ball grounds in Glendale Township to take on thier old friends, the Glendale Gophers and to cross bats with the upstart club, the Latin Stars.
The first match, held at high-noon, featured the Bees and Gophers - renewing thier friendly rivalry on the diamond. The Bees elected to defer the bat toss and elected to strike first. The top half of the first frame saw the the Bees tally no aces. As the frames continued, it was a tight contest with each club scoring few aces. Althought the Bees gave a mighty effort, they were not to be victorious. The final tally was Bees 3 Gophers 5.
The second match of the afternoon, held after a brief rest and chance for the lads in blue to get some refreshments saw action from the new club, the Latin Stars. The Stars are a new club to the league this season, and were playing this game to benefit one of the schools in the Territory. The match proceeded quickly, and in the end the Bees were out-matched on the ball field. The final tally reflected the Bees inability to field the ball and strike the pill to score aces. Final Tally: Latin Stars 14 Bees 4.
The Bees had a rough outing on the diamond, and are not scheduled for any more matches for another two weeks. Hopefully this extra time will allow for much needed practice and rest for those ballists on the club that are suffering from injuries sustained on the glorious field of play.

Bees Have Week Off
Bisbee, Arizona Territories.
With League play commencing a week past, and the victorious start to the season by the hometown lads in blue - Bisbee takes a week off to enjoy some much needed rest from the club's activities.
Several ballists from the club will no doubt be in attendance for the other matches in League Play. This may help the bees gain knowledge about their future opponents of whom they will cross bats in the near future.
The Bees wish the other clubs in the league good luck in the upcoming games.
Huzzzah!!
