MEMPHIS, TN - TOUR STOP

July 12 & 13, 2006

The baking Memphis sun welcomed the Baseball Youth Road Trip, sponsored by the Major League Baseball Players Association, Topps and Upper Deck, to its first stop Wednesday afternoon at the Super Series World Series Baseball Nationals. One look driving into the brand new First Tennessee Fields, and anyone can tell it will serve as a baseball heaven for a long time.

Kids from ages 9-13 and states across the Midwest and East Coast surrounded the 10-field complex and could not stay away from the Baseball Youth Zone featuring the Baseball Card Challenge, a spin-the-wheel free giveaway and a viewing of Harold Reynolds Presents Baseball.

In the Baseball Card Challenge, kids are asked trivia questions with the answers somewhere on trading cards they have for the game. Wednesday afternoon players could win their choice of a Topps Cosigner card or a pack of Topps cards.

Everyone wanted to spin the wheel, including parents, so they could try to win prizes like more trading cards, a Baseball Youth wristband, a copy of Baseball Youth or a free year’s subscription and a Zip-N-Hit batting trainer.

Next, the Road Trip moves to Hopkinsville, Ky. for the National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series Friday.
