Welcome to the Mental Ward

Until recently playing ball in New York City meant travelling out of the city limits or playing Outlaw Ball. The Mental Ward is one of three NYC outlaw fields that are currently in play. It is located in aromatic and beautiful Staten Island. From Manhattan it's about a 30 minute ride by car, and about 45-60 minutes by public transpo.
There are two main playing fields at the Ward, a wooded Main field, and a four-story Building field known as The Morgue.
Though this is Outlaw Ball, we strive to maintain a level of safety observance that is as good if not better than any regular field.
We also "pack our trash" both as responsible behavior and as a sign of respect to the 'owners' of the property. There are no facilities for refreshment or washing up.
There are many different groups of players who come to the Ward, many are independent of each other, but most are associated if in no way but by shared paint, to Team Prozac. To add your name to the Email list of Team Prozac click here.
The games are friendly, and we try to shake up the teams to always be even if not in number in player quality. Typically we play Elimination, but there are two flag stations set up for flag games.
