First Alumni Game
Relive the first AZ Hotshots alumni game where past and present Georges 18u Gold players reunited for a historic softball celebration in Phoenix.
Past and present players on the same field
The photograph on this page preserves the first alumni game in the collection. It brings past and present players into the same story: a chance to return to the field, see familiar faces, and celebrate connections that continue after a particular team or season.
An alumni-game image is about more than a final score. For families returning to the archive, it can be a reminder of teammates, shared routines, and the people who were there through the earlier games. The roster pages are a useful companion when you recognize someone but want help placing a name.
Keep the reunion stories connected
Visit the Photo Gallery for more team and game pictures. The homepage also includes a separate reunion-game photograph identified as Constitution Elementary School in Phoenix on December 22, 2022. Keeping the images and their captions distinct helps preserve the history of each gathering.
If you remember this first alumni game, share the moment on the Memories page. Describe the photograph or people you mean, and include the date only if you know it. Who came back, what made you laugh, or what it felt like to play together again can give the image a story without needing a complete game recap.
