The DFW Public Safety Baseball Tournament, a special tournament for police and fire departments throughout the DFW area, will take place July 31-Aug. 3 at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie.
Helping out the kiddos, one mustache at a time.
All proceeds will go to the Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas, otherwise known as the organization where cops beat the crap out of each other to raise money to help kids lead peaceful, non-violent lives.
Early registration for the tournament runs through July 1. To register, go here and click.
Tickets will be $5.00 each to attend game, while tournament passes are available for $15.00 for all games.
A "public safety" baseball team will be made up of either a police or fire department or a combination of both. If you're neither, yet aching to get in, a limit of three civilian players will be allowed per team.
