Baseball gloves needed

We shared Rev. Willie Burns’ story a few months ago and readers and organizations donated gloves to help kids attending his 1st Pitch baseball camp in April. They just need 15 more gloves to be ready for all of the kids: 6 left-handed and 9 right-handed.

“We used to have all kinds of baseball teams around Prichard, but those ended, and baseball became a lost art. I want to help bring baseball back here, inspiring kids like I was inspired.

We started 1st Pitch baseball camp last winter to teach fundamentals. We have about eighty kids, and I hope it grows into a baseball academy with league play from t-ball on up. Once word got out about 1st Pitch, former players from the Mohawks and other Prichard and college teams came to help. We’re working on getting shoes, gloves, and equipment for each of the kids attending the camp.”

Here is Rev. Burns story.

Thank you to everyone who has helped bring baseball back to Prichard.
