Some people dream of spending their Summer watching baseball. Some picture themselves hanging out with their kids and enjoying the outdoors. Others imagine an adventure including a Summer full of travel and unique opportunities.
Think for a moment, however, if you could combine the very best of your ideal plans for a three-month vacation, roll them into a ball, and what you've got is the very experience that myself and two others have the pleasure of enjoying over the next 90-plus days.
Nathan Clinkenbeard, Nate Kohrs and I will be on the road this Summer promoting Dugout Media's "Baseball Youth" magazine. This publication, created and run by Scott Hacker, aims to both inform and entertain the kids of America who have an interest in baseball/softball. It has become an extremely legit business, and the tour we are currently beginning has the backing of sponsors such as Louisville Slugger, Upper Deck, Topps, Airheads Candy, Backyard Baseball video game and the Disney Channel.
Our mission as "Baseball Youth" road trippers is to make our presence known at all of the approximately 70 baseball stops we have on our schedule during the summer, and to create a unique youth experience by offering free bat rentals, free candy, free video game play and tons of other exciting give-aways, games and activities.
Our journey officially kicked off on Tuesday (05/20) as we stopped at the "Baseball Youth" headquarters in Morehead, Kentucky to load our trailer with all the supplies we will need during the next three months. Tomorrow, we will wake up and make our way to Orlando for Disney's Sun & Surf Baseball Bash at the Wide World of Sports Complex within Disney's compound.
This Summer should be an extremely eventful adventure and I hope you will follow along with our progress as we make our way across the country.
Until next time,
Chris
