Jul. 9—Twine Palmer is ready for the country to know his name.
The Kiowa senior will be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia, to participate in the inaugural Native American All-Star Baseball Showcase July 16-17.
The event will be held at Truist Park — the home of the Atlanta Braves — and Palmer said he was elated when he got the news.
"Grateful, and kind of unexpected," Palmer said. "It's something that I've wanted to do for a long time now and a good experience to have."
The showcase is formed from a partnership between the Braves and the 7G Foundation — an organization dedicated to helping young Native American athletes move to the next level.
