Next Mag: Playing For The Home Team

Next Magazine did a portfolio on outstanding athletes in the various LGBT sports leagues in NYC and Eduardo Osorio was featured. Check out the feature here.

Eduardo Osorio
Big Apple Dodgeball

Anyone who has ever played in Big Apple Dodgeball (BAD) has learned to fear Colombian crusher Eduardo Osorio. His high-speed throw and deadly aim have made him one of the league’s powerhouse players—but that doesn’t mean he’s made enemies. “Before I joined the league I only had one gay friend,” the 32-year-old Long Island City resident explains. “Now a year-and-a-half later, I know over a hundred gays and have developed strong friendships with many of them.”

Osorio’s is a familiar story with the rabidly popular BAD, which has grown to almost 200 members in only a few short years. “The biggest misconception [is] that’s [BAD’s] ultra competitive, which it can be. But what people don’t know is how highly social it is as well,” Osorio is quick to note. “We play and party just as much—sometimes even more.”

New player registration opens up on their website at 10am on Wednesday, August 18, and fills up in a matter of minuets—so act quickly if you desire a spot. But don’t worry, Osorio says, BAD has other ways of harnessing your love of forgotten games. “Next winter, during the dodgeball off-season, there are plans to start a bowling league.” (BigAppleDodgeball.com)
