Kids Corner

The MBA Baseball program is for kids, so it is appropriate to provide a place on our web where kids can go. The MBA Kids Corner is the place for players to learn baseball terms, link to other baseball sites, and to have fun.

GLOSSARY

We have included a Glossary of Baseball Terms so if your coach sometimes says some weird things (they all do), look it up, it may really be a baseball term. There will also be Contest Quizzes with questions coming only from the Glossary (sounds like spelling or definitions, doesn't it?). Click on the link below to go to the Glossary and look around...you might learn something.

The MBA has created the Over the Fence Club. The OTF Club will recognize players who hit a home run over the fence and out of the park.

Stay tuned for additional information.
