Help Wanted – ISO Fans To Vote On Best of Rhode Island Baseball Fields, Pitchers, Coaches, and Snack Shacks

Good morning everyone and welcome to the last week of 2021. Media outlets, social media pages, online newspapers, and everyone in between will be posting their top 10’s of 2021. So, I thought I would have a little fun with you the Rhode Island Baseball Community and invite you to participate in 21 questions for my 2021 Best of Rhode Island Baseball poll. You can send your responses direct via phone, email, social media or via this link:

Fans, this list can be any age, any level, anywhere in the State of Rhode Island. The only criteria is the player, the field, the organization has to have a Rhode Island connection. Some examples, you can vote for Player A from Westerly High School as the best catcher in the state or Player B as the best pitcher from Bryant University who is from Johnston, RI or Player C for the best hitter who plays for King Philip Little League out of Bristol. You can vote for the snack shack in Woonsocket or North Kingstown or Middletown. Who is the best coach in Rhode Island’s youth sports, AAU, travel, or the amateur ranks? What field do you look forward to going to every time you see it on the schedule, even if it is not your home baseball park?

So, let’s have some fun with this list. Will a player from Smithfield Little League beat out a collegiate student athlete for best pitcher? Will a small town field with no scoreboard beat out a million dollar big city field for best baseball field? Will a big time, big name Coach eek out a win over a little know hitting guru? All of the participating names and emails will be kept out of the results. I will be posting a similar poll on social media and will tally the results for the last post of the year on Friday, December 31st. Do not post anything negative or derogatory towards a player, coach, or field! Answer 1, Answer 10, Answer 21. Positive vibes and votes only, please and thank you.

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.
