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.

Jim Agnew from the Rhode Island Rays Baseball Club messaged me yesterday with a press release: Hi All, I hope everyone is well. I wanted to send you all a quick note ahead of our upcoming league announcement next week. As you probably know, several states have made […]
Andrew Rice was a fantastic catcher. If you were to poll coaches and players in Linwood, his name would be on the top of everyone’s list as to who was the best catcher in town. Andrew was “The Catcher” for district all star teams since he was 9 […]
Organized youth sports in Rhode Island will generate revenue and make money for their local business community. This is a fact. In my opinion, there is no way to dispute the positive financial impact youth sports has on restaurants, sporting good stores, landscapers, construction companies, service based businesses, […]
