⚾ Hi, I’m John.
I’m John Boxley—a former Emmy-winning news producer who traded in his news hat for a baseball cap.
Like you, I remember the magic of that first game.
The smell of cut grass, the hum of the crowd, the sound of a ball smacking leather—it’s where love for the game began.
Here, we’re keeping that magic alive.
This is a space for parents, coaches, players, and fans who believe baseball still matters.
It’s where many lessons are learned, dreams are born, and memories are made—starting on a chalked-up Little League diamond.
Let’s pass it on—one pitch, one player, one story at a time.
