SPRINGBORO, OH - TOUR STOP

July 19, 2006

We’re into our third state of the Baseball Youth Road Trip, and we’re just getting started. This time we ventured into Ohio and the town of Springboro for the National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series.

Earlier in the tour we were in Hopkinsville, Ky., for another NABF event, and this one was just as great as the first one. There was plenty of open space and green grass for us to set up our area, and before we were even ready players and fans gathered around to see what all the excitement was about.

A New York team even stopped by for the Baseball Card Challenge and some free prizes before they headed out to get ready to see their Mets take on the nearby Cincinnati Reds. We also got to hang out with other cool teams from the Cincinnati area, Indiana and Michigan.

Our Ken Griffey, Jr. and Adam Dunn cards were pretty popular today, but someone even walked away with a Pedro Martinez game-used jersey Fleer card. One day it was David Ortiz, now it’s Pedro. Who’s it going to be next?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if some lucky person gets a valuable card at the Florence Freedom game tonight or at the next event in Cincinnati.
