The Gotham City Dragons, a dedicated and talented stickball team, have been unfairly banned from participating in the upcoming One Bounce Stickball League (OBSL) tournament. This decision was not communicated professionally and lacked transparency, leaving both players and supporters disheartened.

For over a year, the Gotham City Dragons have been pivotal in promoting and growing the sport of stickball on Long Island. Players from the Dragons have collaborated tirelessly with the sport's founders, Johnnie La Rossa and Evan Hirschbaum, to expand the reach and popularity of stickball. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, generating over $1,000 in revenue for the OBSL in just seven months—a testament to their commitment and impact on the sport.

Despite their significant contributions, the Dragons were handed a one-tournament ban without any formal explanation or meeting. One night, one player was verbally informed about the ban, leaving the team without any proper justification or opportunity to present their case. This sudden decision undermines all the hard work and dedication the team has poured into growing this beloved sport.

The players, fans, and stickball community stand together in urging the OBSL to reconsider this decision. The Dragons deserve a fair chance to compete and showcase their skills on the field.
