Each shirt represents (fill in the blank) col- lege or university, but atop their heads rest the team caps they will sport for the next two months. The fields aren’t bad, but compared to the ACC or Big 12 or SEC or whatever other conferences they’ve been playing in, they aren’t that special, either. But there’s something about this place by the beach that not only makes them want to be here, but need to be here. It’s the Cape Cod Baseball League. With all apologies to the other summer wood bat base- ball leagues, the Cape Cod Baseball League is the best league around for these young college kids who want to show off their skills. Just take a look behind home plate sometime, when you’re at a ballgame. You’re likely to see more radar guns than hot dogs and more notebooks than soda pops. That’s right, the Cape League is where they come to be seen by Major League Baseball. Sure they’re here to have fun, but in the big picture of things, it’s where they show just how good they are to the people who will one day be signing their paychecks. How big that stub is can be determined by seven or eight weeks on Cape Cod. That’s the reality of it all, that the baseball players from Former CCBL Bat all over the United States come here to help their cause of making it to the big time, to impress the talent evalua- Boy Takes Trip Down tors that matter. Memory Lane But there’s still plenty of romanticism surrounding this Page Seven little league, too. Books have been written, movies have been produced, and countless stories have been told about coming of age on Cape Cod both as a ballplayer and a person. While the fans are watching double plays get turned and line drives find the gaps, there is a bigger Meet Bob Mancini – story unfolding for each and every player. Falmouth’s Own Each has his own stories. Some are homesick. Some just want to get out of a slump and prove their worth. ‘Rudy’ Page Ten Others are finding a new pitch, or learning how to hit with wood. There’s so much more happening than just balls and strikes. But the fans are going to the ballpark because of the balls and strikes, the K’s and homers. And if that’s what Continuing A you’re looking for, then you are indeed in for a treat at the Cape Cod ballparks. From the hill at Orleans’ Eldredge Park to the Meet The President Baseball Tradition bleachers in Wareham and all of the vantage points in be- tween, the Cape League is the best family entertainment Page Eleven that this vacation hot spot has to offer. 3 Cape Cod Baseball League baseball is as good as it gets at this age level. Most of the players are between 19 and 21 years old and they’re all here to make some sort of Full Cape Cod League Game Schedule statement.

Most of the names that fans know from this league Photo Highlights US Military All-Stars Game were hitters: Nomar, The Big Hurt, Vaughn, Munson, Pages 8-9 Knoblauch, Tino, and the list goes on and on and on. But, nowadays, here on the Cape, it’s all about the pitchers. If you happen to be a hard-throwing lefty with hopes of League Preview East Division & West Division winning an ERA title, you better not give up more than seven Pages 12-14 or eight runs—for the season.

    LEGENDS IN THE MLB COMMUNITY 2018 A Office of the Commissioner MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ROBERT D. MANFRED, JR. Commissioner of Baseball Dear Friends and Colleagues: Baseball is fortunate to occupy a special place in our culture, which presents invaluable opportunities to all of us. Major League Baseball’s 2018 Community Affairs Report demonstrates the breadth of our game’s efforts to make a difference for our fans and communities. The 30 Major League Clubs work tirelessly to entertain and to build teams worthy of fan support. Yet their missions go much deeper. Each Club aims to be a model corporate citizen that gives back to its community. Additionally, Major League Baseball is honored to support the important work of core partners such as Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Jackie Robinson Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer. We are proud to use our platform to lift spirits, to create legacies and to show young people that the magic of our great game is not limited to the field of play. As you will see in the pages that follow, MLB and its Clubs will always strive to make the most of the exceptional moments that we collectively share. Sincerely, Robert D. Manfred, Jr. Commissioner 245 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, NY 10167 (212) 931-7800 LEGENDS Jackie Robinson Day Major League Baseball commemorated the 70th anniversary of the legendary Hall of Famer breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947 with all players and on-field personnel again wearing Number 42.
