It is often said that there's no crying in baseball. However, no one ever said anything about excluding high heels, fishnet stockings and transvestites from America's most beloved pastime.

The Bat N' Rouge Comedy Softball Fundraiser, the kick-off for Humboldt County Pride Weekend and a benefit for the Arcata Ridge Trail Project, is taking place at the Arcata ballpark on Friday at 6:30 p.m. (Tickets are $10 for general admission, $50 for All-Star VIP, which includes dinner by Abruzzi Catering, beverages and special seating).

This charity softball game is a collaborative effort between the Eureka Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Queer Humboldt, Babe's One For The Road senior softball team and many well-respected community members.
