Army vs Navy Baseball Game At Cardines Field Scheduled for Friday September 17

Posted September 9, 2021 by theribbe

I just received a press release from Newport Gulls Director of Operations Michael Falcone. In the release, it broadcasts that the 4th Annual Cardines Classic Baseball Game will take place Friday September 17th at Cardines Field, Newport. Falcone goes on to write “The (Newport) Gulls have assisted the military in planning the event and would love to see some familiar faces as well as share this to your friends and baseball / historical enthusiasts looking for some Friday evening plans! Admission is FREE and First Pitch will ensue at 5:30 PM.

Original game was rescheduled for September 17th

Michael also included a program for the game with some historical perspective by Dr. David Kohnen, Ph.D., Cmdr. (ret.), U.S. Navy on the Cardines connection and the history of this Army vs Navy game.

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.
