As YWN has reported in the past, for the past number of years, Flatbush Hatzolah has been playing weekly summer baseball games against various NYC agencies – such as NYPD and FDNY to foster a spirit of camaraderie and friendship. These ball games have successfully enhanced the unique relationship between the various agencies and Hatzoloh, and gives all a chance to “get out of the work uniform” and further enhance the important partnerships and understanding that the community can really count on. While always competitive, the games have been enjoyed by all.

On Monday evening August 3rd, the smell of kosher hot dogs, cut grass and the sounds of cheering crowds will be heard in the world famous Coney Island MCU Park – as the NYPD will “play ball” against Hatzolah in a charity softball game. The game was organized by the NYPD PBBS, and will be open to the public.

This year there will be a concert featuring Avraham Fried and others prior to the game.

The concert will be at 4:30PM, with the opening pitch at 6:15. At 7:30 there will be a performance by the Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team, and the game will continue at 8:15.

Tickets are available for only $15.00 per person. Kosher hot dogs & other food will be available as well. (MCU Park is located on Surf Avenue at West 16th Street in Coney Island.)
