what you accomplished took a lot of hard work. there was a lot of blood, sweat and tears on that field where you were practicing probably longer hours than you really wanted to. and i know that your coaches really pushed to push to push you very hard, to get to a place where something like this was possible . but these teams are more than just about winning games. it's really about creating teamwork. it's really trying to put forth your best foot and realizing what you're capable of. there are long term relationships that are established as a result of hard work and going through such a challenging time together. and we in the city and county of san francisco, as the mayor, i want

to express just how proud i am of what you accomplish and what you delivered for san francisco, because it's not just about the base ox. it's about the entire city and county of san francisco and what each and every one of you represents. i want to take this moment to acknowledge phil ginsburg, who's going to be talking a bit. i don't think anyone's a bigger cheerleader for the base. oxton phil ginsburg, because. he is so proud to talk about this team, even when you're not present and about what you all are doing and being this all female baseball team that represents san francisco. he, along with our various commissioners who he will recognize in just a moment who are joining us here today. but it means a lot to be here with family and friends, to take

a moment to pause and reflect on all your hard work. i want to just also go back to the 12 you team that even though you came in third, you got to understand why you came in third in the national. and that is a big deal and it is definitely time for you to fight harder and harder and harder and continue to go up the ladder. the 14 new team, from my understanding, they've been they've been working together since they were nine years. i think that's the term that they used. and from the time they were nine news, all the way to 14 news, they had their minds and their sights set on this national champion and they delivered it. and i want to say congratulate to all of you for doing the hard work to make us proud for doing the hard work that even though we know some of you play for teams in your respective schools, you still have to study hard and teamwork and the work that you do to have

good grades in order to play you still take the time out to be a part of this extraordinary team. and i always look forward when we launch our baseball season in san francisco at kimball park. my favorite team to walk by is usually the base ox of all of the women who are playing baseball out there, toughening it out just as much as the boys . so we're going to do two things to really, really exciting things. first, i want to announce that in honor of your win, city hall will be lit up in orange tonight. for all of you. and i want to ask coach burke and coach alcantara to come up forward to accept a proclamation. to all the

coaches, to all the assistant coaches, to the staff, to the volunteers. we want to express our appreciation because we also know know that the reason why you work with this team has everything to do with your love for baseball, but also your love for supporting young people and helping to lift them up and because of your hard work and their hard work combined, what i want to do today is something very special. today, officially , on behalf of the city and county of san francisco, we're going to declare it base day in several cisco. thank you. thank you so much. all right. and at this time, as

i said, you know, if girls can play baseball, men can be cheerleaders. so, phil, i'm looking forward to seeing you in a skirt with pom poms cheering on the base ox team as their number one fan. ladies and gentlemen, the director of rec and park for the city and county of san francisco, phil ginsburg . all right. okay well, thank you, mayor. the mayor says that i am the biggest bay sox fan, but as we all know, the biggest fan of kids and of sports in this city is our mayor who comes out to every opening day at cbl. cheers for the bay sox is loudly as i do in all of our kids so let's make her an honorary part of this team, shall we? all right. are you are you now that's what i'm talking about.

well done, mayor. all right, folks, you're here. you've been in kentucky. you finished third. you won a championship. i think that was that last night. you were no how last week you were at over at oracle with your names on the big screen. this we're having a moment here. bay sox. and by the way, you know, we got women's world cup. we got the bay sox. it is women in sports are having their moment and you know, there's a saying that we like to say is bay sox fans throw like a girl right. amen. amen so a little bit about this amazing history of this program. mayor this started in 2015, and i want to give a big shout out to one of the founding mothers of this program, rochelle rocky hensley or henley sorry, is rocky here is rochelle. oh, there she is. rocky. rocky played professional

baseball for the colorado silver bullets, has been an amazing member of our team. and this in many respects, rochelle, rocky, whatever you would prefer to be called at the moment, you know, this is your dream come true. we started this program in 2015 with one team, 12 girls now we've got five teams. we've got 60 girls, we've got a national third place finisher, and we've got a national championship. so i want to give a big shout out. the mayor singled out a couple of folks. i want to repeat to the 12 and under coaches. sandro alcantara and justice alcantara for can you both stand up one more time? where's justice.

okay. our 14 and under coaches james burke and karen sanchez, a volunteer here. we have a amazing group of practice coaches as well. manny blackwell, dan resnick and vlad hernandez. and of course every program in every sport needs a team mom or a team dad, someone that keeps the trains running on time. make sure people are where they're supposed to be. registers for tournament points is the center point of all the information. and this particular team mom is very special because she is also a wreck and park

commissioner annie jupiter jones is. yes indeed. i also want to sing out, single out just a couple people from the amazing rec and park recreation staff because today is about the bay sox but the broader message is youth sports are alive and well in san francisco. every everybody plays and i want to give a big shout out to our recreation superintendent, nick williams, and our manager of sports and athletics, jimmy chin . so we had 23 or 20 423 or 24 girls playing on these two teams, 24 i think you said about the 12 and under team, all of these girls created such a great team atmosphere. every player was welcomed with open arms. the positive team culture helped help propel us to an amazing

tournament experience. and when asked about the 14 and under, team coach burke said every single player had their moment. it was truly a team win and i don't say that lightly. it was pretty amazing. and before this year, mayor, the 14 and under team that won this national championship had only ever won one game at nationals. one game they put in tons of work and finished as our national champions representing san francisco. and before i close up with a little cheerleading mayor, i definitely want to acknowledge three of our other commissioners who are here, our vice president of our commission, kat anderson commissioners joe halsey, who was very involved in in, in cbl and flame for your entire life, right, joe? i mean, pretty much

at the fire department, you ran the show. did you ever anticipate a national championship for a women's for a girls baseball team? now and commissioner vinita lewis our mayor, our commission meetings, do you think they're serious business and a whole lot of noise? it's basically just a base love fest. all day, every day here at city hall. right all right. so i before i bring back bring up commissioner tim. mom, the mayor asked me to do a little cheerleading this place. we have a microphone, but this place has pretty good acoustics . it's got a big dome up there. they can hear us all over this building. and the mayor hopes that there are still a few people working around here today. so here's what we're going to do. bay sox and fans and supporters, everybody stand up. we're going to raise the roof off this joint. when i say we are, you say base ready? we are. we are. we are. when i say

base sox, you say champs. base sox. bay sox. when i say bay sox , you say sf bay sox base all together. now we are number one. we are number one. we are number one. all right, let's go. bay sox. and mayor. i didn't even do that with pompoms. all right. let's bring up our commissioner , the woman who keeps it all together. commissioner jupiter jones. are you ready to come on up. to the mic is yours. and what i'm going to present to you, i don't have a proclamation, but the mayor asked me to. to bring the magic back. so for each team member, if you guys look outside, you see that little ferris wheel and there's a big slide that's going up. starting on thursday, civic

center gets its first summer carnival, complete with, you know, corn dogs and water ice and soft ice cream and rides and games and for winning the national championship and for finishing third in the nationals. each and every one of you gets one of these free carnival passes which commissioner jupiter jones is going to give out. so thank you. nice to talk you guys. so i didn't know i was talking, but i just want to say on on top of everything else that's been said about this amazing program with its amazing players, it's amazing coaches. it's amazing families is just how much this program could only happen in san francisco. right. because for this to happen, the city has to support it. the city has to believe that girls can play baseball, that girls can do anything and they have to put their money where their mouth is and make sure that it happens and as a city kid, i know that

this could only happen in san francisco. so thank you, mayor. thank you, everyone in this city for supporting this. it doesn't happen without you right? so i'll leave it at that. and i think i'm introducing our 12 year coach coach andrew, to come up and give us some highlights about the 12 youth team. all right. thank you very much, commissioner jupiter jones. i i just want to say when i reflect on the teams i've coached, the most important thing is, is having an atmosphere where girls feel seen by each other and by the coaching staff. and i do want to say that i, i feel like our 12 youth team did a great job of embracing one another, support each other when we had tough times and celebrating like mad when we had good times. so i just want to say 12 of you, i'm very proud of you and the most

important thing to work out and leave with is that we all have this journey of baseball. we fall in love with it. we have big dreams and i want you to know on this journey of baseball , i want you to enjoy it. work hard and remember head, heart, hustle will always get you far, no matter if you go just to the base box, to high school, to college, if you think about those three pillars of our program, head, heart and hustle, you always keep your head in the game. you don't give up on yourself or your teammate and you work hard. even when the coach isn't looking. it'll help you be successful. people and baseball players. all right. and i believe i'm now able to introduce use the 14 year coach james burke, because i'm not it anymore.

uh uh, also didn't really know i was going to be talking for too long, but hello and thank you to city of san francisco and to the mayor london breed for having the san francisco bay sox girls baseball team here today to be celebrated for their amazing special victory this summer. and the baseball for nationals in kentucky. i'm extremely grateful . i was extremely grateful and happy to be able to have the opportunity to coach the bay sox this summer. i've always heard nothing but amazing things about the bay sox. i've had bay sox on my middle school teams and even in rec and park. and when i finally got to step in and be the coach this summer, um, it lived up to all the expectations that i thought it was going to come with the effort, the amazing effort from all the girls. this summer was just

truly remarkable. we were like, hey, what if we practice three days a week this summer? what if we go ahead and practice with the san francisco 14 new team as well? and we just keep getting better and better and better and every girl showed up to every single practice. and the girls, if they couldn't make it to practices because they were breaking other barriers in joining other teams and playing another tournaments this summer and continuing baseball. so again, one of the big things that i really loved about this summer was the base represented san francisco well, and they represented baseball in san francisco well. there's always a lot of talk about baseball in san francisco and the talent. and again, we're just always proving how san francisco baseball does have some of the best talent in the united states. and i love that the base proved that here. i do want to do some shout outs real quick. first to manny, who's sitting there, honjo annie, i saw firsthand how you kept this program going through all these

years. it's amazing what you've done. your leadership is the reason why these girls have won this year and you've kept this program alive through your leadership and the way they just represented everything. so well is because of you. so thank you very much. that was very awesome . also, i want to give a shout out to african park for keeping the program alive. it's been amazing. shout out to the parents. this is a big thing. yeah. um, i'm firsthand knowledge. what i'm saying. if the parents all support and create a positive atmosphere, teams can do wonders. and because of that, the base ocs were able to do what they did this summer and do so well. the culture was just amazing. and again, shout out also to all the past players of the bay sox and the current president, players of the bay sox. you're all amazing. there's so many

cheerleaders from the from the past teams who always come back coach talk up the program team that give back and then the present players today who were keeping it alive and really making this one of the most awesome programs and giving it an outlet for girls to play baseball in san francisco. so again, it was just a really awesome and i said it before, all the girls on this team had a moment. it was truly remarkable. i've i've coached middle school, high school, college and i've won a couple championships and this was truly actually felt like one of the one of the most unique awesome amazing championship wins because every single player on this team did something special to go six and zero in any tournament is hard. we had nine pitchers, three catchers. i can go on and on and on and they did it. they won. it was truly amazing. everybody had a great time. and thank you again for everybody here. great job. way to put in the effort.

thank you very much. all right. i'm back. before we move on, do we have any of our young ladies who might want to say a few words today. come on up. hello, madam mayor. general manager ginsberg, park recs commissioner and the coaches, players and baseball families. my name is simone and i'm the captain of the 14 new team i've been playing with the bay sox for the past five years, and i know i speak for all the girls

in our program when i say that we are part of an amazing organization filled with growth, encouragement and many unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships. playing with the bay sox has taught me many skills, including leadership and determination that translate to all parts of our lives, not only baseball. this summer, we traveled to kentucky for the annual baseball for all nationals tournament. we went six and zero, winning first place in the 14 new minors division. this accomplished. it proves how far we have come as a team over the last few years, despite the fact we were a public and city run entity. unlike most of the competitive travel teams, we play against. last year we won one game at nationals, which at the time was a big accomplishment for us. after losing by a landslide each and every game back in 2021. as a team, we have put in so much time and effort to get to this point and it's so exciting to see our work wasn't for nothing and our perseverance has paid off so that we can call ourselves national champions. we wouldn't have been able to do this without all the coaches who have gotten us to this point. coaches karen, manny, andrew and justise, not to mention the head of our program, annie jupiter

jones, who have stuck with us through the highs and lows of as a team with coach burke able to give us new perspectives this year. so on behalf of all the bay sox team, thank you so much for all your time, effort and constant support. we're also extremely thankful and grateful to have the city of san francisco and its parks and rec department for providing girls like us the ability to grow together as a team and opportunity to represent the city on a national stage. our hope is that the foundation built, which we have been lucky enough to be a part of, will continue to grow and allow us to keep succeeding both on and off the baseball diamond. thank you again. and go sox. hi my name is belén henriquez carillo and i'm the 12 you team captain. and i've been with the base since i was six. i'm lucky to be able to be in this organization for a very long time, thanks to this organization and parks and recs , i've been able to play in five sf ibl seasons and go to three

bfa tournaments. although i'm very grateful for that. the best thing about baseball is the people. thanks to the base oks. i've made many friends and am able to play with people like me now. i can finally have people i can relate with and share the same interest in baseball as me. i also want to thank all of the coaches for being very supportive and accepting anybody, regardless of their experience or skills. that way, anybody has an opportunity to play. bass has had a positive impact on my life. thank you base and i will always be grateful for that because girls belong in baseball. thank you. okay, we have one more thing now . i don't know about you, but i love wrestling. and usually you get a belt when you wrestle or you box. but today we, the bay

sox, they're getting a belt for playing baseball. so so we have some wwf style belts. to really honor the team and to our to our great team captains. didn't they do a great job. so this team is not only creating folks who work well together, but it's creating leaders. so thank you so much to each and every one of you, to all the parents, to all the players. congrats relations. we are again so very proud of all that you have done, which means you got to work even harder. and maybe we make it four days a week of practice next year and so with that, thank you also for coming. and we'll take a few pictures and you can enjoy city hall while we're here. but don't forget to come back tonight. see, this is why you don't give

belts for baseball hall. don't forget to come back tonight and take some pictures of city hall lit up in orange honoring the national champions. the bayside sharks.
