New York Empire Baseball Brings the Game—and Joy—to Ukrainian Refugees

We’re honored to share that New York Empire Baseball was recently featured by MLB.com for a story close to our hearts.

As war continues to affect families across Ukraine, Empire founder Jordan Baltimore brought the spirit of the game to children in crisis—traveling to Poland to lead baseball clinics for Ukrainian refugees. The mission: give these kids a chance to simply feel like kids again, if only for a moment.
