The Rhode Island Baseball Experience Final Swings – The Genesis

The Baseball Storyteller

The Rhode Island Baseball Experience got its start way, way back on the fields of Hamilton Elementary School in Wickford, RI in the mid 1970s. A young 5 to 6-ish boy with a glove and St. Bernard’s Saints hat ran out onto the open fields of Hamilton Elementary and played baseball in the Tee Ball program for Wickford Little League. From there, this baseball loving lad adapted his swing to his favorite player, whose name he couldn’t spell and used the popular short version (Yaz) to explain to people why he batted left handed. Many others in his Kindergarten class … Continue reading The Rhode Island Baseball Experience Final Swings – The Genesis

The Sacrifice Present – Connecting Those That Have With Those That Need

The Baseball Storyteller

In just about every level of baseball, the word “sacrifice” is used to describe a play or a commitment a player exercises so another teammate(s)’s situation improves in the game. There is the sacrifice bunt, where a player gives up his/her at bat to advance a runner on the base paths by laying down a bunt instead of swinging for the fences. There is the sacrifice fly, where a player drives the ball in the air to the outfield far enough for a runner (after the baseball is caught) to tag and advance to another base. In a close game, … Continue reading The Sacrifice Present – Connecting Those That Have With Those That Need

My Latest Rhode Island Baseball Community Project – Tales From The Senior Circuit

The Baseball Storyteller

Growing up here in Rhode Island, I would visit my mother who worked in nursing homes and assisted living centers around the South County area.  She would bring me into the patient’s rooms and I would chat with them about (what else???) baseball.  From what I can recall, the patients loved the time and the opportunity to talk to me about baseball, when they were a little boy or girl growing up here in Rhode Island or a surrounding state.  Some were knowledgeable about the current state of the game, who was playing for the Yankees or the Red Sox, … Continue reading My Latest Rhode Island Baseball Community Project – Tales From The Senior Circuit
