Treasure Coast, Florida is proud to be the host of the 2020 Cal Ripken 9-Year-Old Invitational and 11-Year-Old Invitational World Series. The pineapple is a recurring motif around Jensen Beach. The town’s affinity for the spiny fruit can be traced back to 1879, when the first pineapple slips were planted by Capt. Thomas E. Richards at his Eden homestead.

A mere 14 years later, Jensen was shipping over 1 million boxes of pineapples each year during June and July earning the town, “Pineapple Capitol of the World.” Hard freezes, fires and financial problems contributed to the industry’s final collapse in 1920, but the legacy of this tropical fruit lives on in the signage, store fronts and residences of Jensen Beach/Stuart.
