SAN DIEGO -- Baseball fanatics of all ages were out in full force Saturday morning at Petco Park, as the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association teamed up with the San Diego Padres and Fanatics to host their Legends for Youth baseball clinic.
Five former Major League players -- Calvin Pickering, Allen Dykstra, Jon Leicester, Anthony Slama and Cole Liniak -- helped host a free clinic where baseball fundamentals of hitting, fielding and baserunning were emphasized. MLBPAA's Legends for Youth host 185 baseball clinics each year, impacting nearly 18,000 children around the world. The MLBPAA has reached children nationally across America and has also spread internationally to countries such as Australia, China, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela.
