THE YANKEES GIVE BACK TO KIDS MISSING BASEBALL CAMP


COVID-19 really disrupted everyone's lives. Many died. Many had things cancelled. Many may be living with the virus and not even know it. But in the midst of this, I always think about the kids. The kids are supposed to be in the most important parts of their lives and they're getting hosed.  Sports are cancelled, camps are cancelled, it sucks.

The Yankees however are doing something great, and it's a little story in Page 6 and I just wanted to share it.  They are holding Zoom camps for the kids that have to miss the Yankee camps, and David Hale will be there... and so will fan favorite Mike Ford:

"Yankees Mike Ford and David Hale are going to give lessons to kids who were supposed to attend Rising Star Baseball Camp this summer. The Bronx Bombers will give three Zoom lessons to the campers, normally based in New Rochelle....Topics will include pitching and hitting insights, as well as how to “stay motivated” during the pandemic."

What a great thing! Nice work!
