Our Full Count RBI program offers a growing number of opportunities for youth to be introduced to baseball and softball and develop their skills, while learning life lessons. We stand with Black Americans protesting police brutality and the continuing murders of Black men, women, and children in this country.
We stand with Black ballplayers from the MLB, NCAA and to out local leagues - who are told in myriad ways to "play the game the right way." We won't be satisfied until we stop hearing the phrase, "Baseball is a white sport" explicitly, implicitly, or because of how it feels for a Black youth or youth of color to participate in it.
