Games are played at the Terry Park Complex east of downtown Fort Myers where baseball has been played since 1926 when Connie Mack brought the Philadelphia Athletics there for spring training. Teams are guaranteed 7 games (weather permitting) with championship playoff games played in both the Cy Young and Red Oldham divisions.
Each year over 200 players make the journey to participate in the Ft. Myers Wooden Bat Classic and enjoy the 70+ degree temperatures. Plan to join us January 24th-31st, 2010 in Fort Myers for a great week of sunshine and baseball !!!

Welcome to Bob Wagner's Wooden Bat Classic website. The Wooden Bat Classic (WBC) is a tournament where players of varied skill levels over 30 yrs. of age can play baseball in the Gulf coast city of Fort Myers, FL during the last week of January or in "The Biggest Little City In The World", Reno, NV in early October.
Since 1997 the Wooden Bat Classic tournaments have had players from more than 30 states and several foreign countries participate. Players from Argentina, Canada, Germany, Portugal and Russia have given the Wooden Bat Classic an international flavor.
Participants can come as free agents or with a group of other friends/players who form the core of a team.
Our games take place at the Golden Eagle Regional Park located in Reno's “sister city" of Sparks, NV. Built in 2008, Golden Eagle is a state of the art complex with all-weather synthetic turf fields. Teams are guaranteed 7 games, weather permitting.
The first three Reno Wooden Bat Classic events took place from 1998 through 2000, run by Bob Wagner himself. Now nearly ten years later the time is right to get reacquainted with Reno, Nevada, "The Biggest Little City in the World”.
