I am getting a daily education on the teams, the players, who coached, who starred, who came out of nowhere, and who deserves a freaking book deal because he is so awesome!!! I am getting expert analysis from former players and even more expert analysis from some of their coaches. I played RIHS baseball from 1986-87 to 1989-90 so I have a pretty good memory of about … Continue reading Wednesday Morning Stats Festival Featuring Best Rhode Island High School Baseball Teams Since 1972

In fact, a North Kingstown School Bus is pulling up to my street as I write this to pickup first year NKHS students. I have an NKHS student that drives to school and is entering … Continue reading Grab Your Glove And Let’s Catch Up On Some Rhode Island Baseball News

Central Falls Youth Baseball’s Comeback Fundraiser Goal – Every Kid Plays For Free in 2023

The Baseball Storyteller

One of my favorite things to write, post, and share is when a Rhode Island baseball organization and their local community come together to achieve a positive result.
