Welcome to Big Sur Softball!
For
      three decades, a very colorful and surprisingly competitive softball
      league has provided fun, entertainment and a sense of community
      for the residents of Big Sur, California. The rules of the league,
      though influenced by softball, have largely been determined by
      an unusual playing field. The "ballpark" lies on sunny
      flat alongside the Big Sur River within the boundaries of Pfeiffer-Big
      Sur State Park. Here, on Monday and Tuesday evenings from the
      beginning of May through the end of August, a host of locals
      and an occassional curious visitor gather to watch teams like
      the Outlaws, the Dogs and the Burritos renew rivalries.

Big
      Sur softball is played with wood bats. Also, we play by Socko
      rules. Socko is a unique and exciting version of softball that
      apparantly was invented in Monterey about 50 years ago. By pitching
      to your own team and allowing batters only two pitches, the games
      move quickly. In Big Sur, Monterey and Pacific Grove, Socko is
      a big hit with players and fans. Outside of the area, almost
      nobody has ever heard of it. To learn more about
      Big Sur softball, you are invited to explore the links at the
