The "Battle of Goat Hill" legislative charity softball game, which took place on March 20, 2024, at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, was the third installment of an event benefiting Big Oak Ranch, a home for children in need. The game featured a full color guard, national anthem presentation, and appearances by notable figures such as Senator Katie Britt, Governor Kay Ivey, musician Riley Green, and former athletes Wesley Britt, Brodie Croyle, Walt Simmons, and Scott McClanahan. The House of Representatives triumphed over the Senate with a decisive 13-1 victory, marking their first win in the series and doing so without any significant injuries. The event was not only a competitive display but also a charitable success, highlighted by a generous donation to Big Oak Ranch.
The resolution acknowledges the House of Representatives' win and playfully suggests that Senate colleagues might need to visit a batting cage to improve their performance. It also extends gratitude to all individuals involved in the planning and execution of the event, including law enforcement and military personnel, and offers the highest commendations to Big Oak Ranch for their ongoing work with Alabama's youth. The resolution celebrates the success of the charity event and the contributions made to support the children at Big Oak Ranch.
