Alzheimer’s San Diego office
Alzheimer’s San Diego is excited to launch the 2023 season of BasebALZ! This special reminiscence therapy experience is designed for people living with dementia and their care partners. You don’t need to be a fan to enjoy this fun and creative program.
BasebALZ is led by super-fan John Williams. When you arrive, he will greet you with replica vintage All-Star Game tickets to start this immersive experience. Together, you will dive into a field of dreams as you play ball with a plastic bat, eat Padres peanuts and Cracker Jacks, and sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Your senses will be engaged as you pass around leather mitts and baseballs to see, touch, and smell. You’ll also get to see copies of vintage baseball photos, play trivia, and share stories of the game. Feel free to dress up in your favorite team gear!

“Each program is geared towards celebrating and sharing the historic and everyday events of baseball’s vast history. My goal is to awaken the baseball senses in each of us by bringing together an interactive museum exhibit, so participants can share their baseball stories and memories, and learn more about this great game,” John explains.

“The importance of this program is in the tactile offerings such as holding a vintage worn-in leather mitt or browsing through old photos while holding a replica 1933 All-Star Game ticket stub in your hands, the smell of a game-used baseball, the weight of a wooden bat or the sound of peanut shells cracking and the taste of Cracker Jacks. Throw in some batting practice off of a tee, along with other fun games and trivia, and BasebALZ is the perfect hour… experiencing and exploring the past, present, and future of this timeless game.”
