Founded by Don and Lori Mattingly, Mattingly Charities has partnered with the MLB's Revive Baseball in Inner cities (RBI), establishing a program  in Evansville as part of the effort to serve underprivileged youth.

It doesn't get much closer than that!

During his playing days with the Yankees, Don Mattingly was known as much for his iconic mustache as he was his play on the field, making his decision to enact a "no facial hair" policy as the manager of the Marlins a surprising one.

Even though it doesn't fell like baseball weather right now, Spring will be here before you know it, and children from all over the Tri-State will be gearing up to hit diamonds across the area. For children whose families can't afford to get their children involved, Mattingly Charities RBI Program gives them the chance to play for free.

There is nothing like going to a baseball game and enjoying a hot dog and a cold beer. There is something about beer and baseball that makes it the perfect marriage.

Zack Hample is huge baseball fan and has caught more than 6,800 baseballs in more than 50 Major League ballparks in the U.S. One baseball he hadn't caught yet was one dropped from 1,200 feet, which would be a world record. Hample made the attempt at a minor league baseball field in Massachusetts.

The 2013 Major League Baseball season is "in full swing" (pun completely and whole-heartedly intended), and Youth Resources of Southwestern Indiana has an opportunity for you to catch a game at one of the leagues historic ballparks, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles!

The below video is one of those things that just makes you cringe. The incident took place Wednesday night during a game between the Yankees and Texas Rangers when a foul ball was tossed into the stands by the outfielder. A kid being held by his father reaches for the ball, but the guy next to dad grabs it and the kid is not happy and cries hysterically.
