Still working to finalize team management and roster. 

 This season, the Mariner team is comprised of players 16-18-years old.  
Normally a 16-only old team, the  Mariner and Merchant (normally 17-18) teams are both going to field 16-18-year old players 
because there are not enough 16-only teams for the Mariners to have a decent schedule..

SCHEDULE: 

Check back occasionally... additional games and schedule changes are possible.

HISTORY:
Alameda Mariners - History & Tradition

The Mariners Team is usually made up of 16-year-olds from Alameda High School, Encinal High School and St. Joseph High School.

The first year of the Mariners was in 1993. Prior to 1993, the very talented 16 years olds would play for the Alameda Merchants. Usually only a few would make the team because they were competing with 17 and 18 year olds. If a 16 year old did not make the Merchant team, they would usually play for the 16 year Alameda Legion Team.

Tim Nelson and Chuck Mosely were the first managers for the 1993 and 1994. The players played 28 and 30 game seasons and had to the opportunity to play a tournament in Tahoe. They made the Northern California State Tournament both years.

Nick Ferreira had two very successful years managing the team in 1995 and 1997 (16-18 year old team in 1996). In 1995 the Mariners finished 3rd and in 1997 2nd in the Northern California State Tournament. In 1997 the Mariners defeated the State Champion once in the Northern California double elimination tournament.

In 1999 John Harris became the manager and the Mariners won the Northern California State Championship. They represented Northern California in the Southwest Regional Tournament in Bakersfield. They also won the very prestigious Mister "C" Fourth of July Tournament in Fairfield competing against 17 and 18 years olds. Dontrelle Willis (rookie of the year for the World Champion Florida Marlins) was one of the key players on that year team.

Tim Marr was the manager in 2001 and the Mariners played a very competitive schedule playing against many 16-18 year teams (no Merchant Team that year). The Mariners finished 3rd in the Reno Firecracker Baseball Tournament and played against some of the best 18 and under teams in the 17th Annual Sapa/Johnsrud Baseball Tournament in Whitefish Montana. The Mariners finished the season on a very high note when they finished 2nd in Northern California State Tournament.

Jim Tench (Manager) and Steve Yamasaki (also known as Coach Yam who has been involved with the Alameda Babe Ruth Program 22 out of the last 28 years) continued the fine tradition of the Mariners program from 2002 to the present. Playing a heavy packed schedule of 44 games in 2002 and 52 games in 2003, the Mariners won the Reno Firecracker Baseball Tournament in both 2002 and 2003, won Labor Day Wood Bat Invitation in Reno 2003 and played in the Northern California State Championship 2003.
