I just wanted to take a second now that I’m settled into my drive back. I wanted you to know that you guys are running a class act organization. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hated to leave. Every aspect from the ball to the dorms and everything in between was first rate. From the moment we got there we were treated like we were truly appreciated. From somebody who has done the Cooperstown experience, there is no comparison.

I’d also like to pay note to someone who stood out during our week there. I’ve been coaching youth travel baseball at the highest majors levels for 15 years. I’ve interacted with ALOT of umpires. Some good, some bad. But umpire Chuck is special. By the time we left he had made such an impression on our boys, that saying goodbye to him was an emotional moment.

In closing, you always get the emails from the people who are upset about something and want to make sure you know it. Well, I wanted to make sure you knew that you made a very special memory for a bunch of nasty, goofy, smart mouth boys out of Georgia that have not had a whole lot of good things happen this year with all the Covid stuff. Hats off to a job well done and keep it up!!

As a coach of these young men and a father of one of the players, I can’t thank you enough for the experience that your staff and venue created for myself and the boys. The opportunities throughout the week gave me a chance to have so many meaningful conversations with kids, coaches, parents, etc. and share moments in winning and losing that were impactful for all of us. My relationship with my son grew even closer than it already was, and my team can’t wait to start their fall season, due in large part to the closeness we gained at Ballparks of America. While each team wanted to beat one another and compete at a high level, there was a “family” feel about the whole week, and that feeling isn’t accidentally created by itself.

The experience I had at your ballparks was one of the favorite things I’ve ever done. I really loved playing on the “MLB” fields and using wood bats. One thing you could do is get a little shop on the property that sells equipment for players.

I would like to say how much fun it was being able to play on replica fields of major league fields. One of the best parts was being able to play in the rain and win the tournament while using a wood bat. Also giving us free passes to white water the place was super fun on the off day I had.

Thank you for an amazing week. My favorite part was that the fields were short so we can hit homeruns. My favorite memory is that I hit four home runs and that my team won the tournament. I hope that in the future you guys will build more fields so that older kids can play.

I really enjoyed playing and staying at Ballparks of America. It was great to play on some really nice turf fields and playing on a fields that resembled the MLB. Some of my most memorable moments were being able to team bond with the guys, such as playing games in the hallway, go carting and just being able to hang out with everyone on site throughout the day and night and my homerun on Wrigley Field! I really got a chance to know my players outside of baseball and had a really good time. The occasion went fast and I liked the fact that the Park is located in Branson Missouri where there is lots to do. All together my experience with Ballparks of America was awesome.

I really liked Ballparks of America because of the dorms, replicas of major league stadiums, and it was very close to all the popular things like go-carts, mini-golf, late night BP, and homerun derby. The dorms were also one of the best parts of the experience. It was a friendship builder and a very cool way to hang out with your teammates. I also loved late night BP because we were on some of the coolest replica fields in the world and you could rob some dingers. Also, the homerun derby was awesome, although I wasn’t in it, I was allowed to shag balls. It was incredible being on Wrigley Field! I wanted to send this note so that you guys could know how good of a job you are doing and how much I loved it.

Thank you for a good experience that I will not forget. I enjoyed playing on the fields that looked like real MLB parks. They were the nicest fields I have every played on. I also liked staying in the dorms with my friends. I really liked being able to take batting practice on the fields late under the lights. Tuesday night’s home run derby was cool. My favorite part of the week was playing with wood bats.
