MH prepares as Babe Ruth World Series returns

Baseball in Mountain Home has been around since the 1950s and has become a staple sport of the local community. The Mountain Home Youth Baseball (MHYB) Association helps continue the tradition by providing kids in the community ages 4-15 the ability to play baseball both recreationally and in league. Members of local baseball teams play during the summer, as well as on traveling teams and in tournaments locally and throughout the country. MHYB Association President Tom Czanstkowski says the association has a significant and positive impact on the local community.
