AKRON, Ohio — Kids were learning, catching and hitting on the baseball field in Akron today. Former high school and collegiate baseball players from around the city volunteered their time to get kids outside and moving at the first-ever"Akron Baseball Project."
"Akron needs baseball, and I want baseball to be more than a recreation or something to do that keeps you away out of the streets, to get into bad situations if you're focused on the game and your education," Brooks said. "Baseball is 90% mental, 10% physical. I've been loving the game since I was 4 years old," Brooks said.
Young players at the "Akron Baseball Project" not only learned new skills on the diamond but made new friends before school starts again.
