HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM FRIENDS OF BASEBALL
When MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred issued his letter around this time last year, we were so inspired and motivated to learn that his priorities for Major League Baseball aligned so well with our priorities to Keep Kids on the Field of Play. He said, “Baseball is a game firmly rooted in childhood experiences, and its vitality and growth rely heavily on giving young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to play and watch baseball.” That’s why we were honored to have Commissioner Manfred participate in our 10th Anniversary Gala from afar with his special video message and congratulations not just to our Founders, but to ALL OF YOU who have been there along the way to help us help more kids. 2015 HIGHLIGHTS and MORE TO COME…
Today, it’s the first day of 2016. You know what that means. A new season ahead… PLAY BALL, Nova and Ben

10 YEARS KEEPING KIDS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY
The Seattle Mariners sent us a special holiday thank you video message to our partners and supporters who have done so much for youth baseball and softball over Friends of Baseball’s decade of service. At our Gala in November, we raised a little over $35,000 to help fund our new Full Count program to bring more youth to the game. We are proud to partner with the Seattle Mariners to build community through baseball and have their support at our 10th Anniversary celebration. Enjoy this special message from the Mariner Moose and his colleagues and our front office friends, Gina Hasson and Bob Hellinger. And remember baseball is always just around the corner. To a fun and memorable 2016 year and season!
