The @cbea_uic + @umps_care + The Sandlot collab I didn’t know I needed! Last night before the @whitesox and @yankees took the field, CBEA & UmpsCare invited kids who’ve been through the young umpire training to meet and ask questions of 4 @mlb umpires and Founder of CBEA @cgrand. To top it off, 3 actors from the @thesandlot_movie stopped by to say hello! Their non-profit @playforever_org aligns with the mission and vision of CBEA, giving youth access to opportunities through sports and education. It was cool to witness the next generation of umpires being inspired! #cbeauic #grandyman #umpscarecharities #mlb #thesandlot #legendsneverdie #playforever by @playforever_org

Great interview this morning @wgnmorningnews with @grantgelt talking about Play Forever and our activities in Chicago this weekend.

Find us at the @whitesox game on Saturday, 8/30 and then @sluggersbar on Monday, 9/1 from 12-2!
