Play Ball Weekend helps to build young fans as life-long baseball fans, and is open to children of all skill sets, both those who have played the game and those who have never picked up a baseball bat.

For the event with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, every kid who participates will be put through a rotation of stations, led by the team's players, to learn how to hit, pitch, throw, and field like a professional baseball player.

And a bonus, each kid will receive a complimentary whiffle ball bat and four tickets to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies game against the Reading Fightin Phils (Double-A, Philadelphia Phillies) on Saturday, June 6th. First pitch is set for 6:07 p.m.

In Addition, all of the participants will be invited to be a part of the Field of Dreams ceremony taking place before the game.
