Inner-City Youth Baseball took a big step forward yesterday with the ribbon cutting and celebration of the newly renovated Ted Rasberry Field, 1010 Sheldon Avenue, SE, here in Grand Rapids.
How about some baseball for a fun Memorial Day Weekend?
There will be a lot of fun at Fifth Third Ballpark. The West Michigan Whitecaps have announced they're adding Fireworks to Friday night’s game vs. the Dayton Dragons. There are now great Family Fare Fireworks shows on back-to-back nights to kick off the holiday weekend.
The countdown is on! With the West Michigan Whitecaps’ 23rd Opening Day next week, Saturday, April 9 at Fifth Third Ballpark, the place is buzzing with activity. Several upgrades to the facility’s seating areas should be completed before the first pitch.
Wonderful ballpark food like this tasty sandwich, The Closer - two grilled cheese sandwiches stuffed with nine different cheeses and adorned with candied bacon, is just waiting for you at the game.
Opening day for baseball is just around the corner and we're getting set for another year of the good old "summer pastime."
We're also getting ready to his the concessions, right? Ah, nothing
There's no doubt about it, Grand Rapids is an awesome city. We've got lots of attractions and fun things always going on, we're a family friendly city and appeal to the younger crowd as well. Grand Rapids has A LOT to offer so no wonder why we make so many "best of" lists...
Just like through all of 2015, the West Michigan Whitecaps saved their best baseball for when their backs were against the wall, as they rallied to earn their sixth Midwest League Championship in team history thanks to a 3-2 victory over the Cedar Rapids Kernels at Perfect Game Field Monday night...
WOW! I think the Whitecaps were made for the playoffs, because they just keep winning.
They posted their best offensive performance when it mattered most as they advanced to the 2015 Midwest League Championship Series with a 14-5 win over the Lansing Lugnuts at Cooley Law School Stadium Monday night.
For the second straight season, the West Michigan Whitecaps are playoff-bound after they beat the Fort Wayne TinCaps 1-0 Wednesday night at Fifth Third Ballpark.
