-Roberto Clemente

Improving Youth Baseball Instruction is vital to Baseball’s Survival
“You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you’ve been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to ‘watch’ the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.”
-George Herman ‘Babe’ Ruth
