WASHINGTON -- Earlier this year, the United States Conference of Mayors renewed its pledge with Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred to continue "PLAY BALL Summer," aimed at growing youth baseball across all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
Among the dozens of city leaders who supported extending the agreement through 2020 is Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who visited PLAY BALL Park near Nationals Park on Friday for a tour of the kid-friendly facility, open for free play every day leading up to the 89th MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
