[quote=Anonymous]DC is becoming a great baseball city for children from all backgrounds.

DC has 6 little leagues that foster a spirit of having fun, good sportsmanship and learning the fundamentals.  I've been fortunate enough to coach my DS for 2 years now and been impressed that among the 4-6 year old division and now the 6-8 year old division to see children from all backgrounds. And all players benefit from this diversity.

It also has camps like Home Run Baseball Camp which is concious about building bridges with communities throughout the city.  Thanks Coach Mac!

There's  also the Nats Youth Academy in Fort Dupont which not only provides great baseball coaching, but has an amazing summer school and after school program for the Fort Dupont neighborhood.

Plus, the Nationals, themselves, are fortunate to have some amazing African American players like Joe Ross, Brian Goodwin, Michael Taylor, Ben Revere (and in previous seasons, Denard Span).  So we have plenty of role models here with our home team.
