ALL-BROOKLYN BBB RESULTS FOR 2002 THROUGH SUNDAY JULY 7TH

For most of the last century, the sport of baseball was generally regarded as the "National Pastime." More than a metaphor for life, to many people baseball was life where mental decisions and physical actions had real consequences that lasted forever. Recent times have seen baseball in decline where big money and other sports options have taken away the "time" once spent with baseball activity. In Brooklyn, this decline started with the departure of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Four decades after the Dodgers left, an appropriate response to their loss and to the decline of baseball took the form of two "all-Brooklyn" leagues formed with ballcubs representing the eighteen Brooklyn districts created by the NYC Charter of 1976. These BBB (triple-B) clubs played all of their games on local fields in Brooklyn. In its fifth year of operation in 2002, fourteen districts are playing a full-season, four-round schedule of games with many inter-district rivalries already in place from four years of play.

The tension of daily full-season baseball in Brooklyn can be experienced in 2019 as the days and dates are the same as 2002.
