baseball in LA update

By LeTania Kirkland Smith May 2, 2012

Bring on the peanuts and Cracker Jack; baseball season is in full swing and for small sluggers it’s the most wonderful time of the year (sorry, Santa!). If your little leaguer can’t go to every game (who can?) or even see them on TV (grrrrr), we’ve struck upon loads of ways to get into the spirit of LA baseball. From Friday night fireworks to baseball inspired treats there is plenty in our great city to keep everyone entertained past the 7th inning stretch.

Batter Up, Little Sluggers

Watching is awesome, but playing is even better. Between watching the games, head to the All-Star Baseball School, where you can play catch on the grass and then take turns in the batting cages—they have every speed set up in cages named for great pitchers, and even a slow softball pitch for beginners. Or if you want more instruction, your future ace can take private lessons from the former pro player who owns the school. It’s an amazing experience for kids who love the game (and for parents, too). They also have summer camp and birthday parties.
