For the past eight years, in the third week of January, a team from the Greater Cleveland area has traveled to Fort Myers, Fla., for an age 50 and over baseball tournament, the Bob Wagner Wooden Bat Classic.  

Teams from around the country participate, playing seven games from Monday to Friday. The top four make the playoffs and play semifinal and final games on Saturday. 

This year, the Cleveland Indians won the championship. Three of the players on the team reside in Brecksville: manager Rich Armbruster, Mike Lee and Dave Deran.
