OLD-TIMERS DAY LUNCHEON
IN MEMORY OF Bertha Saladino & AL LOPEZ

Each year the Saladino Tournament hosts a complimentary private old-timers day luncheon for the pioneers of baseball in Hillsborough County - former Major Leaguers, Minor Leaguers, Tampa Smokers, Inter-Social Leaguers, Municipal Leaguers, Negro Leaguers, Orange Belt Leaguers, Metro Leaguers, and Cigar Factory Leaguers - to be special guests for the luncheon, nostalgia, camaraderie and fellowship.

The annual get-together is held on the Wednesday of the Tournament week, at 12:00 under the Hospitality Tent. 

The Old-Timers Day Luncheon is by invitation only and has become popular and traditional with Hillsborough County baseball players of yesteryear.

The annual Old-Timers Luncheon is in memory of Bertha Saladino and Al Lopez, Tampa's first baseball Major Leaguer, and Tampa's first Hall-of-Famer.  Mr. Lopez was a regular attendee of the Old-Timers Luncheon through the years.

LaSeptima Spanish Restaurant in Brandon, owned and operated by Dahlia and Ronnie Fernandez, sponsors the annual Old-Timers Luncheon.

Bertha Saladino's Hospitality Staff cordially serves as hospitality hostess and coordinator for the luncheon.
