he commissioner of the Rose City
Softball Association says that the league
will kick its off its 2001 season April 29 and that
teams and individual players are still welcome
to sign up. The season runs through late July.
“People become really good friends,” Lloyd
Perry said. “That’s the best thing about it.”
The league will send three teams to the Gay
World Series next August in San Francisco.
Portland and the association will play host to
the 2002 games.
Perry says about 140 teams will converge
on the Rose City. Organizers have been busy
lining up national and local corporate spon

Portland Mayor Vera Katz, Portland Police
Chief Mark Kroeker and the Portland Area
Business Association all stepped forward to
support the event and convince national
organizers that the Rase City should play host
to the 2002 series, according to Perry. More
than 100 volunteers will be recruited later
this year to assist in the event.

Many of the players say participating in the
league is great for their social life. “It is the
best social connection in the city,” Perry says.
