MLB Urban Youth Academy and Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) Program
In an effort to increase baseball participation in inner city and urban communities across the United, States MLB has two programs. Multiple players in MLB today learned their craft at its original Urban Youth Academy in Compton, California, south of Los Angeles (at left). The academy, which opened in 2002, is one of many across the U.S., including Wesley Barrow Stadium in New Orleans (below).
You can learn more about these academies in Mr. Sports Travel's basebal guides, which you can buy here.
