For the past six decades, area children have played baseball at Bob McEvoy Field on Grand Avenue. This year, Mission Bay Youth Baseball is celebrating 65 years of showing area youth how to play fundamentally correct baseball, as well as promoting good sportsmanship, teaching the value of teamwork, and imparting the importance of giving back.
Mission Bay Youth Baseball players have gone on to play baseball at Mission Bay High School, various colleges, and even the Major Leagues – but it’s more than that. “One of the things that makes Mission Bay Youth Baseball so special is the bond between parents and how baseball fosters lifetime friendships among the players,” said Lee Silber, a coach in the league for the past 11 years.
Over the years, the league has adapted (switching from Little League to Pony) and grown. This season, the league is improving in several ways. If your son or daughter is between the ages of 5 and 14, you may register now for the 2020 spring season at mbyb.org.
