I was just thinking about how many All-Time Greats have youth baseball programs named after them and how many of them are still operating. I can think of Babe Ruth of course, and Joe DiMaggio, Walter Johnson, and Cal Ripkin. Are there any others? I played Little League, Police Athletic League and Joe DiMaggio baseball because that's what the towns I lived in offered. Some neighboring towns had Babe Ruth, and much later Cal Ripkin and of course American Legion which isn't named after anyone. I'm in the Bay Area of Northern California and grew up here. Id lve to hear everyone's stories and if there are any other programs named after players that I may have missed.
