⚾❤️ **A WEEK THEY’LL NEVER FORGET — COOPERSTOWN 2026** ❤️⚾
Some weeks are about baseball.
**This one was about so much more.**
Thirteen players. **Eleven different communities. One Team Extra Innings family.**
From **Salem, Peabody, Beverly, Malden, Revere, Middleton, South Hamilton, Ipswich, Danvers, Lynn, and Melrose**, these boys came together as teammates and left Cooperstown with a bond and memories that will last a lifetime.

It was about taking the field with your teammates. Celebrating home runs at home plate. Picking each other up after a tough inning. Laughing in the dugout, competing until the final out, and creating memories these boys will be talking about for years to come.
Our **Team Extra Innings** boys finished **3–2 in pool play and launched 20+ home runs**, but those numbers only tell a small part of the story.
What we’ll remember most is **how they played for each other.**
We’ll remember the smiles. The celebrations. The friendships. The families cheering from the stands. The coaches giving everything they had. And 13 young ballplayers from different communities coming together to live out a baseball dream in Cooperstown.
We didn’t leave with a championship trophy.
**But we left with something pretty special.**
We left with stronger friendships, unforgettable memories, and a group of players who learned what it means to be **Strong Together.**
To our players — **we could not be more proud of you.** Not just for the way you played, but for the teammates and young men you were throughout this entire experience.
To our parents and families — **thank you.** Thank you for the sacrifices, the travel, the cheering, and for trusting us to give your boys an experience they will remember forever.
Years from now, they may not remember every score, every hit, or every inning.
But they’ll remember **Cooperstown.**
They’ll remember **their teammates.**
And they’ll remember that for one incredible week in the summer of 2026, **13 boys from 11 communities became one family.** ❤️⚾
**The memories won’t fade.**
⭐ **Touch in the Moment**
⭐ **Strong Together**
