We interrupt this youth sports blog....
..so I can congratulate my son Ben.
The inaugural President's Cup in Baltimore was a major success. Eight private and public high school baseball teams participating. A single-elimination tournament. The title game at Camden Yards. Players sporting the caps of historic Baltimore Negro League teams. Honorary captains (and former Orioles) Paul Blair and Al Bumbry. A special appearance by Hall of Famer Frank Robinson. Best of all, a commitment to do it again next year.
And in an odd moment, a battle between Gehrig and Ripken (See "Ripken and Gehrig on the same field...at last").
All credit to Baltimore City Council President Jack Young, with an assist from Ben.

This is great to see it came off so successfully. I remember Ben throwing around some logistics about the tournament with me more than a year ago and I'm glad to see it come to fruition!
Hope this can continue in the future.
