CINCINNATI -- The Reds Community Fund works year-round to reach boys and girls of all backgrounds who not only want to want to play baseball, but also earn achievements away from the field. The fund's longtime executive director, Charley Frank, was particularly thankful for one day in 2017: June 7.
It was on that day when 33 kids from the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program and the P&G MLB Urban Youth Academy took part in the team's first college signing day. Of those 33 at the event inside Great American Ball Park, 14 were going on to play college baseball or softball.
