Team & league rules

Boathouse Beers can flip rule poster: flip the can, call a player's name before it lands, and if it lands upright that player shotguns a beer — Can flip rule

01

Land a flip

After finishing a beer, a player gets one flip. Call a teammate’s name before the flip. If the empty can lands upright, that teammate takes the shotgun.

The can must complete at least a half rotation.

02

Strike out

A swinging or looking strikeout means owing the team a 30-pack and wearing the pink tutu until the coach decides otherwise.

A foul-out does not count as a strikeout.

03

League basics

At-bats begin with a 1–1 count. Games run seven innings or one hour. The first four innings have a five-run limit; later innings are open.

Run past home plate to the right—do not touch home.

20 runs after four innings
15 runs after five innings
12 runs after six innings

Team history

The Beers were established by Sean Hanley in August 2023, bringing together friends, family, former teammates, and players from around the Bay Area.

The name “The Beers” comes from the movie BASEketball. From the beginning, the idea was simple: build a competitive team that has fun on and off the field.

The Beers joined Alameda’s Tuesday Lower League in their first season and immediately reached the championship game. Since then, the team has played through different divisions, added new players, built its own traditions, and grown into much more than just a weekly softball team.
