2024 Tom Burke Memorial Early Bird Classic- May 3-5

Welcome to the 2024 Tom Burke Memorial Early Bird Classic! For years, the Early Bird was one of the oldest and most respected early bird tournaments in Cleveland, ran at the pristine Maplewood Complex in West Park by Tom Burke. We've developed a great relationship with Puritas Baseball over the past years, and with them opening their doors once again, and we're honored to partner with them to run this tournament. We are honored to name this tournament in Tom's honor, as Puritas Baseball was an incredible passion of his.

We do not hold spots; registration is confirmed only with registration form AND payment.
