youth baseball

On Saturday night, pitcher Dean Kiekhefer made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals, stepping on the mound at Dodgers' stadium to throw 27 pitches over one and two-thirds innings of relief in the Cards 5-3 loss. And like so many aspiring baseball players, the journey to get to this moment was a long one. However not all the journeys include two summers playing ball in Evansville lik

With no show last Friday due to the Cubs versus White Sox game, I took the day off to enjoy a nice three-day weekend filled with a trip to the movies with the family, and a youth baseball tournament in lovely Leopold, Indiana. Here's a few photos from my travels.

After a $16 million dollar investment by the Evansville Visitors and Convention Bureau, the new Deaconess Sports Park is set to open with its first baseball tournament this weekend and will be officially christened with a dedication ceremony at noon on Saturday.

In an effort to expand the game of baseball to parts of the city that wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity, Don Mattingly will announce the expansion of his Don Mattingly RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) League later tonight at 6PM at Blush Ultralounge.
