Some of Goldman Sachs' most senior staff played wiffle ball, and it got real competitive

The sun was shining on Battery Park Ballfields on Wednesday.

It was a beautiful New York day, the kind of day that makes you want to leave the desk and play some ball.

In the shadow of Goldman Sach's headquarters in downtown New York, over 600 employees of the bank came out for a day of wiffle ball, competition and camaraderie, all in the name of charity.

The bank was raising money for Harlem RBI, a non-profit year-round youth development program based in East Harlem, New York. The organization has grown to serve more than 1,700 boys and girls annually in both Harlem and the South Bronx, ages 5-22, providing them with year-round sports, educational and enrichment activities.

Youth from the program also attended, serving as umpires and referees and calling the shots for the day. The tournament pit different groups at the bank against each other in different rounds.

Some high profile players also made an appearance at the games. Gary Cohn, the president and COO of Goldman Sachs, Yankees player Mark Teixeira and Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson got involved, mingling with kids and employees and trying their hands at bat.

Is it competitive?

"Oh yes," said Cohn. "Of course it's competitive. This is Goldman Sachs."
