The Dykes came prepared with their Flannel shirts, mullets and some even had their toolbelts with them.
And the Queens, well they are Queens through and through.
The rules of the game are simple. The first inning is played by standard rules. The second inning has, well, no rules. Being a fund raiser, one can donate money during the even number innings and they can buy strikes or balls, base hits, outs or even home runs. You can also have a batter hit with a crooked bat, hit from their knees, runner can be told to run backwards, skip, or even crawl.
For another rate one can pay to have two Dykes wrestle between innings on the infield.
There was an appearance by the Knights of Malta who donated money to the Capitol Hill Alano Club, who the fund raiser was for.
The Sisterhood of Perpetual Indulgence was in charge of selling raffle tickets.
At one point a Queen was given a Dyke make over complete with a mullet, toolbelt and even a backpack, oh yeah, and her very own flannel shirt too!
One Dyke was so smitten by the new Dyke that she even proposed to her.
Sadly for the real Dyke she was turned down....
With Dyke names like: Amanda Wreckin With, Trailer Trash, Boobs, and Queens with names like: Victoria's Secretion, Miss Peaches, and Skipper how could anybody not laugh their butts off.
Years ago I would have never expected to see myself at an event such as this, much less enjoy myself, but I'm finding that I'm really enjoying living on Capitol Hill and all of the floavor that it has to offer. I won't be adjusting my sexual preference at all, but this neighborhood is helping to open my eyes up to so much in life and helping me enjoy life so much more than I have in the past.

Hi Bryan,
