Last weekend, Cleveland Guardians Hall of Famer Kenny Lofton, returned home to host a free clinic for Cleveland youth baseball & softball players at CC Sabathia Field at Luke Easter Park.
Joining Lofton were former teammates Carlos Baerga & Julian Tavarez. Instruction was led by Still Got Game Foundation, Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation, and Play Ball! CLE volunteer coaches.

The cognitive dissonance of the average American basketball fan is real!
We can go another decade without an American MVP or American being the face of the league, and this fan will still think American basketball players are the most dominant in the world.

As Jeremy Booth says, youth sports offer incredible benefits—building discipline, teamwork, and physical health. They also provide young athletes with life lessons in resilience and leadership that extend far beyond the field.
However, sustaining such impactful programs requires financial support. As much as we wish to offer these experiences universally, operational costs, such as maintaining facilities, hiring expert coaches, and purchasing equipment, necessitate that we charge program fees. These fees are pivotal in keeping our programs accessible, high-quality, and continuously improving.
At OPBC, we strive to strike a balance between making our programs affordable and maintaining the excellence that our families expect and deserve. This includes seeking sponsorships and community partnerships, offering limited discounts or scholarships, and being transparent about how funds are utilized to benefit our athletes.
We believe in making a positive impact on the lives of young athletes, helping them reach their potential both in sports and in life. Balancing the economics of youth sports with the priceless value they bring to our community is not just a business imperative—it's a mission that drives us every day.
Let's continue to support and grow youth sports, ensuring they remain accessible and beneficial for all young athletes and their families.

Taken at the @NB_Baseball @ftrstarsseries Showdown, this is an our message on the business of amateur baseball. I know these sentiment are shared at the highest levels, and by many others out there in the community.
This is what we stand for. It’s also why we take bullets, and why people tell players not to attend or choose not to associate. If you’ve ever listened to someone who’s been here, seen the players and orgs involved, and the return to families, then those aren’t reasons not to be here.
There is only one reason, and we’re proud to stand on the opposite side of that aisle with those who share these ideals for players, orgs, and the game first.

The reigning back-to-back Atlantic League champion Lancaster Stormers ⚾
Installed the Titan DiamondBlade® artificial turf system this past offseason.
The reasoning behind the change was simple:
1) Lower maintenance costs
2) Year-round use
3) Community
In addition to baseball, the Stormers can host community events - concerts, RV shows, Christmas light shows, and more - at Clipper Magazine Stadium without damaging the field.
The Stormers start a 6 game home stand tonight.
PLAY BALL!
