JULY / AUGUST 2006 ISSUE

Below are just some of the features you will find inside Baseball Youth magazine’s Spring 2006 issue. Sean Casey may have switched teams going from the Cincinnati Reds to the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he has not lost that friendly attitude he takes to the park everyday. Also, Cal and Bill Ripken have tons of baseball knowledge in both their heads, and they want to share it with you. There’s also information on an MLB Kids Club, the 2006 NCAA Champion Oregon State Beavers, and Baseball Youth’s list of the 20 most recognized players in the major leagues today. Don’t forget the Ken Griffey, Jr. poster as well.
