Our mission is to revive
baseball in our Inner City community. We strive to commit our league
to motivate participants to stay in school and pursue post-secondary
education, and school attendance/performance is a requirement for joining and
remaining on many RBI teams. RBI has been embraced in so many communities
because it teaches kids that being a success in life takes more than succeeding
on the ballfield -- it also means succeeding in the classroom and in the
community.
