As summer is quickly approaching, Ripken Baseball is gearing up for some great events. One of our favorite things to do during the summer is work with coaches and youth players from around the world to improve their baseball game.
This week, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to share the game we love with a group of coaches and youth players from Iraq. On Wednesday, Ripken Baseball met with fifteen Iraqis out at Ripken Stadium and mentored them through the game of baseball. We taught them the correct way to catch a ball, throw a ball and hit a ball. At the end of the day, we even played a small baseball game where youth baseball players took on Ripken Baseball!
While all of our camps and clinics are incredible experiences, I must say this was one of our favorites. Playing the game with a group of people who love it so much is exactly what Ripken Baseball stands for. We were honored to host a group of eager learners at Ripken Baseball, and look forward to doing it again soon.
Ripken Baseball represents the endeavors of Cal Ripken, Jr. and his brother Bill Ripken since they retired from playing baseball professionally. The Baltimore-based company is on a mission to grow the game of baseball worldwide, the Ripken Way.
