TBE Men's Club Softball
The Men's Club Softball Team
In 2012 a group of three North Shore temple Men's Clubs got together and formed the North Suburban Men's Club Softball League. As word spread, 5 more temples added teams, until the league totaled 8. The league is comprised of teams from:
-
Temple Beth-El (2 teams)
-
North Suburban Synagogue Beth-El
-
Beth Judea
-
Makom Solel
-
Or Shalom
-
Am Shalom
-
Beth Shalom
Every Sunday morning (9:30, 10:40 & 11:50 am), between April and August, we meet on Techny Fields in Northbrook, and face-off in head-to-head play, which is followed by playoffs and a 'World Series' at the end of the season. Guys play whenever they're available and always have a great time (notwithstanding a few pulled hammies along the way)!
The TBE Men's Club softball teams are organized and led by Mark Trachtenberg. Contact Mark for information on how to join one of the squads. We're always on the hunt for more, faster (and younger) guys. The cost to play is around $60/player + the cost of jerseys. The TBE Men's Club shares the cost of our league entry fees with our players and the players, in turn, support The Men's Club. The league provides game balls and umpires.
Our 2025 rosters include: Team A: Mark Trachtenberg (Captain), Andy Baker, Bryan Mittelman, Brad Adgern, Dale Lasky, Quinton Lasky, Andy Doppelt, Geoffrey Sabin, Howard Axe, Josh Hoffman, Micah Sussman, Rob Schwartz, Al Silverman and Zach Raimi. Team B: Bill Adolph, Jeff Bosken, Barry Brotine, Daniel Cohen, Matthew Finder, Steve Fingerman, Adam Greene, Kevin Hogendorp, Ken Horinko, Troy Larkowski, Brandon Lieb, Jared Silber, David Weichman, Scott Weinberg, Mike Weinberg and Charlie Wilen.
