I've lived in NoVA for the last 15 years or so, and I always find it humorous that this is considered the South, the MDL notwithstanding. It's only been very recently, thanks mostly to McDonald's, that you can find sweet tea on a restaurant menu. And I STILL can't find a Bojangles or Waffle House around here.

In upstate NY there are tournaments every weekend, and a local league has "Fall Ball" on Sunday. The Adirondack Sports Complex is full with a waiting list for Tournaments all Winter.

What does lousy food have to do with North/South?

Then again, metropolitan and surrounding areas like the district and Atlanta don't really count due to all the carpetbaggers that moved there

Because the state of NOVA (Fairfax, Arlington and now Loudoun counties) is not the South; ROVA (the "Rest of VA" as they say) is the South. Just point your car west on 66 and there is plenty of sweet tea. When speaking of my upbringing, I say "I'm from Northern VA . . . the green side."

And as to answer the OP, Fall ball this weekend and next weekend.

Well, you certainly qualify as North of the Mason-Dixon Line
