The 2024 Tournament
The 40th Anniversary of the Tournament!
It was a magical weekend that we will not soon forget: The 40th anniversary of the Mike Reid Memorial Softball Tournament. Reflecting back, the tournament started with a bunch of people wanting to raise a few dollars for the school of the namesake of the tournament, Michael Reid. It was a simple event in 1985 that has evolved and expanded over the years and is now one of leading summer events in Greenfield Park.
The 40th tournament was not without complications. After an almost perfect summer, we were inundated with rain thanks to the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby. All Friday games were postponed to Saturday because of 150mm of rain in 18 hours. We got through the rain and the 40th annual tournament finished on time.
Congratulations to all the winning teams of the 40th annual tournament. The Smoking Bats in Women's division, the SS Knights in the B division and the O’s in the A division.
As always, thanks to the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, players, supporters and fans who continue to make our tournament one of the best summer events in Greenfield Park. Frank Reid would be proud.
