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.

Last night on the MLB Network, over the span of nearly 3 hours, I watched one of my favorite baseball movies, “The Natural.” Robert Redford plays Roy Hobbs, a once can’t miss prospect who runs into a heap of trouble, falls off the planet only to return in […]
