A symbol of St. Petersburg’s youthful approach towards retirement – and adding to the belief that the Sunshine City’s magical climate will keep you young forever – the Kids & Kubs softball team was founded by St. Petersburg’s Three-Quarter Century Club in 1930. Originally playing their games at South Waterfront Park near current day Al Lang Stadium, the Kids & Kubs now call the field at Northshore park home. Not your average softball team, these amazing athletes have to be at least 75 years of age to sign up! Seen here celebrating “Babe Ruth Day” in 1933 with baseball legend Babe Ruth while the New York Yankees were in St. Pete for Spring Training, the Kids & Kubs have played throughout the United States – winning the World Championship in 1998.
