BLUE Colorado Springs 2007
Minor League Baseball (MiLB) Umpire Jon Merry invited 2 mentor/youth matches of Big Brothers Big Sisters to Security Service Field on July 29, 2007 for a Big League Umpiring Experience. Mary Ann, Lauryn, Molly, and Unique tried on equipment, rubbed mud on baseballs, watched batting practice, met a pitching coach, and took some photos. The BLUE is an opportunity for kids and their mentors to learn, laugh, and have fun together - the chance to strengthen the mentor/youth relationship.
