Wayne Huizenga, the 1997 World Series Trophy won by the Marlins will be on display at The Elliott Museum which boasts awards that date back to the 1800s. Some of these ancient awards include autographed equipment from the greats ranging from Babe Ruth to Joe DiMaggio to Don Larsen.

Some of the recent museum visitors were shocked, surprised and delighted to get up close and personal with the extravagant baseball trophy that isn’ t protected in anything; not glass nor plastic.

Flames ready to heat up Indiana

News from the upcoming USSSA World Series

Flames ready to heat up Indiana

Comprised of nine baseball-loving eleven-year olds, the players for the First Capital Flames have played together since early childhood in their local Scioto Valley Youth League. They have met challenges as a team and grown together, joining the 11-under USSSA organization as they sought a more advanced level of play. These young athletes had their work cut out for them, as USSSA plays with high school rules. They have risen to the occasion and are ready to put their home town group up against players and all-star squads from large cities.

With their second place finish at the 2009 Championship Challenge the Flames qualified for the 2009 USSSA World Series to be held in Columbus, Indiana (July 15-19). That has them extremely excited and revved up their game – so much so that they just added a state championship trophy to their trophy case (winning the 1st Annual Capital Cup).

The USSSA organization holds tournaments nationwide through the late spring and early summer months for many age groups and in many classes.
