Welcome to the Summer Baseball Tournament season everyone. Whether it is a local, community tournament benefitting a charity or a huge regional tournament, these summer baseball tournaments are great for the Rhode Island economy. Hotels are booked for the weekend. Restaurants are booked for team meals. Coffee shops are cranking out java after java and bagel after bagel for hungry fans. Local artisan shops and clothing stores and retail stores are getting a huge bump in activity with more people shopping in our state. And this summer, travel in and out of the State of Rhode Island is not restricted for baseball teams from and outside of Rhode Island. So, here is a tournament that I will be keeping an eye on this week – The Firecracker Sports 4th of July Showcase Classic.

Here is a stat that will get your attention – 192 teams. If you add up the teams from the 13U to the 18/19U divisions, you get 192 teams that will be competing in the Firecracker Sports 4th of July Showcase Classic. Simply incredible. Teams from as far west as New York and New Jersey and from all over New England will be traveling to Rhode Island and Massachusetts for this event and are scheduled to play on some of Rhode Island’s top baseball fields. There are 5 divisions – 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U/17U, 18U/19U. Teams are guaranteed 4 games. This is a wood bat only tournament.

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.
