But don't be fooled by our warm embrace— We're here to win and conquer the base! So watch the purple stripes take the stage, With bats in hand and competitive rage. The Asteroids are here, ready to shine, Let's win, make friends, and have a good time!

London Trash Pandas
Captain: Lorraine Phee
Story: We are a team of London misfits who usually play this tournament with our league teams. Turns out most of our friends decided to grow up and have babies and take their big boy/girl jobs seriously, so they couldn't make it this year. As a result, the ones that are cool enough to be here have decided to take Trash Pandas international. We can't wait to play some ball, drink lots of beer, and annoy everyone in the stands!

Our captain has played in over half of the Heavy Hitters tournaments ever organized. Someday, when he has moved on to the great Charity Tournament in the sky - a date rapidly approaching - he may even get a mound named after him.

Wales Wander Bears
Captain: Lauren Williams
Story: We are a team of players from various league teams in Cardiff, such as Chaos, Hurricanes, Base Invaders & Bats Hit Crazy.

Travelling Chanclas
Captain: Steph Karayannis

Mamas & Papas
Captain: Mirka Novotna
Story: We're mostly moms and dads of young players from the Eagles Prague Baseball and Softball Club. Baseball is all about fun for us, and the Heavy Hitters tournament allows us to put ourselves in the shoes of our kids and show them that we're not old hats just yet. During the time we've been playing in this tournament, our children have grown to an age where they can fill in for us on the field when someone gets a little bit "rusty." It's an honor for us to be a part of such a tournament.
