Every day, I am so psyched to open my email, my inbox, my message centers and read all the great baseball stories from my Rhode Island Baseball Community members. Parents email event updates, coaches email me exciting news and player achievements, leagues email me important news to inform others. It is so awesome to read and have the opportunity to share this baseball news statewide with you. Here are some news stories that hit my message centers this week:
