Sandlot Baseball Clinic
What is a summer without the sounds of kids playing Sandlot Baseball!
A Sandlot Baseball Clinic was held every Wednesday in July. This was led by local coaches, The Jackie Robinson Foundation, and support from the NY Mets. The clinic provided children with the ability to participate and gain access to an attractive sport that most would not have considered partaking in.
The event took place in Gardella Park in White Plains, NY. The facilitators were: Wayne Bass (Commissioner of the White Plains Recreation and Parks), Mr. Donovan Micthell (Director of Diversity Equity and Inclusion with the New York Mets), and The City of White Plains Little League.
The objective was, to increase low-income and minority children (of the City of White Plains) to the sport of baseball. The kids participated in the fundamentals of baseball, fielding, running bases, throwing, and hitting.
On the last day of the clinic, Mr. Micthell and the Mayor of White Plains, Thomas Roach presented the kids with gloves, autographed baseballs of current NY Mets players, and two tickets to an upcoming Mets game.
Wayne Bass and Kevin Moore are members of the AAMW (African American Men of Westchester), who volunteered their time to participate in the baseball clinic.
