Eden Prairie News -- Midwest Baseball Academy, with local operations in St. Paul, MN, is partnering with the Major League Urban Youth Academy and the Major League Baseball Players Association on a project that aims to send $1 million worth of equipment to disadvantaged players in the U.S. and overseas.

Hamline University is one of 110 locations in 25 states operated by Louisville-based Midwest Baseball Academy, which expects about 16,000 players in its upcoming Spring Training 2008 program. The company is asking each player, and each past p layer, in its program to clean out his garage of no-longer-used baseball equipment - bats, gloves, cleats, helmets, catcher's gear - and place it in collection bins at camp locations around the country, including Hamline University. The St. Paul location begins January 5th and runs through February 9th.
