Starring in the musical acts, we have an impressive roster of musicians from the bluegrass, jazz and indie scenes who met on the baseball field:
Chris Luquette (Guitar, LF), Dennis Lichtman (Clarinet, 2B), Curtis Brewer (Guitar, P), Mitchell Cheng (Piano, 3B), Ricky Stein (Vocals, SS), Aidan Scrimgeour (Keyboards, C), Gabe Terracciano (Fiddle, 1B), Billy Conahan (Guitar, CF), Ethan Crystal (Vocals, RF), and many others.
FUMBL was founded in the summer of 2020 when a group of then unemployed musicians seized the opportunity to get enough people together to play the sport they grew up with but hadn’t played in decades. The team is grateful to be a part of the growing sandlot baseball community in NYC.
There will be hotdogs (including vegan and GF options!) and FUMBL merch for sale! Bring your gloves and scorebooks and make sure to get your tickets in advance!
