Earlier this week, the Yankees, in partnership with the New York City Police Department’s Blue Chips Program, NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, NYC Department of Youth & Community Development, The Players Alliance, SCAN-Harbor and Poland Spring Spring Water, held Opening Day for the Summer Night Lights Program at Elston Gene Howard Field. Following a successful inaugural season in 2023, Summer Night Lights will again take place this summer in conjunction with Major League Baseball (MLB)’s PLAY BALL initiative. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from July 9 through the end of August, approximately 300 children and teenagers from the Bronx between the ages of 12 and 18 will have the opportunity to take part in tournament-style, co-ed baseball and softball games!
