C I T Y Back Together Stronger Than Ever As coaches of City High Baseball, we would like to express how grateful we are to have the opportunity to lead a program with such tremendous history. City High School is a premier school throughout the entire United States and to be a part of that legacy is significant. It is an honor for our coaching staff to passionately teach the game of baseball to the student athletes participating in the baseball program at City High School. We value playing the game the right way and teaching life long lessons both on and off the field. We teach our players to practice and compete to the best of their abilities and work to develop leaders. Our goal is to give our fans and supporters a great ball park atmosphere. We hope your family friendly experience at Mercer Park exceeds your expectations. You can also follow us during home and away games on Twitter@ICHSBaseball. None of this would be possible without the tremendous support of the City High administration, amazing parent support and of course, our student athletes. This support is a year round effort! Thank you for the contributions each of you make to our team. We would also like to show our guests what a positive environment we have here at City High. Please accommodate them and allow them to appreciate a great experience. Thank you, and LET’S PLAY BALL!!!!!
