MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The All-Star Legacy Project made another stop Monday, dedicating a new ballpark at Jose Marti Park in Little Havana with the help of Marlins President David Samson and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.
“There’s a lot of elements trying to grab our kids and pull them in the wrong direction,” said Ripken. “Sport is a good thing. Baseball is a magical thing because you don’t have to be the biggest, strongest, and fastest to play it.”
The new field is a safe space for kids, but across town team owner Jeffrey Loria is trying to sell his park and team.
