Since 1999, our Big Train Base Ball & Holiday Auction has been an important opportunity to bring the Big Train Family together in the offseason, celebrate our victories and our service to the community and ensure a strong financial foundation to support Big Train baseball.

Join us on Sunday, December 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the fabulous KID Museum located directly above the Bethesda METRO station for our annual Big Train Base Ball & Holiday Auction. Our great friend Hall of Famer Tim Kurkjian from ESPN will share his reflections on the 2025 MLB season and World Series. We will enjoy the company of Big Train fans, dine on fine food from The Bean Bag Deli and Max’s Best Ice Cream, showcase our auction items, and present our 2025 Randy School Big Train Outstanding Service Awards.

Funds we raise this Fall will allow us to make improvements to Shirley Povich Field, continue our robust community service activities, and organize a spectacular schedule of 2026 game night entertainment you won't want to miss.

This year, we will have two online auctions to help you do your holiday shopping. The first will open on Tuesday, November 18, at 5 p.m. and close Monday, November 24, at 9 p.m. The second will open Tuesday, December 2, at 5 p.m. and close on Monday, December 8, at 9 p.m. Many of the items in the second auction will be on display at the December 7 event.

To pay by credit card, please proceed below. If you are paying by check, please fill out this linked form and mail it with a check payable to Bethesda Community Base Ball Club to 7211 Exeter Road, Bethesda, MD 20814. 

I won’t be attending the December 7 event, but do I want to support Big Train baseball and Big Train’s good work in the community with a tax deductible contribution.

I want to support the David Povich Improvement Fund for Shirley Povich Field to help sustain the quality of Povich Field long into the future.
