Huge thank you to all the host families who opened their homes to players traveling from Canada, Michigan, Florida, California, and all parts of the USA to stay here in the Ocean State and play summer collegiate baseball this year. The Ocean State Waves and the Newport Gulls have the most amazing host families and coordinators who make this transition from out of state to our state as smooth as possible. I am so happy to share and publish some of their good-bye letters to their summer family members, who are now heading back to college to continue their academic and baseball careers. The first one is a good one, so head over to www.theribbe.com to hear from Little Max and Allie on how their summer went!
