The RIBBE is The Rhode Island Baseball Experience. It is promoting the game of baseball here in the great state of Rhode Island for the entire baseball world to see. The RIBBE is positive stories, photos, videos, and responsible social media posts. The RIBBE is an information resource for families looking for an AAU team or a summer camp or a great place to buy a first baseman’s mitt. The RIBBE is a network of coaches, tournament directors, parents, leagues, and baseball junkies whose passion of the game of baseball is unquestioned. I believe that providing expert analysis, information and directions to ballfields, and coaching advice from some of the top RI baseball minds will help promote the game of baseball here in RI to a whole new level.

“May I be permitted to see the items in question, Counselor?” asked Noel and directed his question at TJ. Tyler looked at his son, who was clearly frowning and upset, and nodded his approval. “I guess so, my Dad has them in the back of his car over […]
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from my family. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to showcase the great baseball talent on and off the baseball fields of Rhode Island. Every year, I meet so many amazing parents, players, coaches, volunteers, and fans and remain so […]
The Abrams felt a ton of civic pride after finishing up a very busy volunteer day at Signal Rock. After packing up their wheelbarrow, rakes, and other equipment, Tyler went back to the bleachers to retrieve the baseball trophies TJ had landed on. He found TJ looking at […]
Back in the Spring of 1992, I transitioned from a fielder to a pitcher during tryouts at my alma mater, Springfield College. Having always been a first baseman or an outfielder throughout most of my youth and scholastic career, the concept of pitching was quite foreign to me. […]
Tyler Abrams was sitting in his comfortable office chair at his home in North Kingstown when an email popped up on his computer screen. It was from North Kingstown/Wickford Little League and the email announced a date for their Fall Cleanup Day. Fall Cleanup Day is an annual […]
