2019 Rhode Island Little League District All Star Tournament Recap

Posted July 15, 2019 by theribbe

I had an opportunity to travel to several Rhode Island District Tournament games this summer. The truth is, I wish I could go to all of the games in every District because the atmosphere is so incredible. You have these youth athletes playing at a very high level, parents and friends cheering on every pitch, huge enthusiastic and passionate crowds, and local community pride is just exuding from every inch of every ball park. Parents of players text neighbors and family members during the game for updates. Social media is buzzing with photos and videos before, during, and after the games. The feeling that recreation baseball has somehow passed us all by is non-existent at these District Tournament games. If we as a RI Baseball community could only harness the intensity, the passion, and the sense of community from these District games and pour it into the regular season games, practices, and events – the thought of recreation baseball going away becomes an afterthought. But, that is for another blog.

The RIBBE is The Rhode Island Baseball Experience. It is promoting the game of baseball here in the great state of Rhode Island for the entire baseball world to see. The RIBBE is positive stories, photos, videos, and responsible social media posts. The RIBBE is an information resource for families looking for an AAU team or a summer camp or a great place to buy a first baseman’s mitt. The RIBBE is a network of coaches, tournament directors, parents, leagues, and baseball junkies whose passion of the game of baseball is unquestioned. I believe that providing expert analysis, information and directions to ballfields, and coaching advice from some of the top RI baseball minds will help promote the game of baseball here in RI to a whole new level.
