NEWS/ABOUT

Our new partner and upcoming venue is the Old Stone House in Brooklyn, NYC, the site that commemorates the birthplace of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is part of the Historic House Trust of New York City and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a place where the community gathers. We will happily start our “Season” there on April 11, 2026. PLAY BALL!

Our Start

We initiated this storytelling project to support the work of our Made Visible Foundation, which is dedicated to enabling young people with critical illnesses to share their personal stories of life experiences, regardless of setting or diagnosis. Baseball As Good Medicine© is one way in which we raise awareness about and support for our work. Baseball as Good Medicine is our live competitive storytelling event about the amazing, magical, mysterious healing qualities of baseball. We have a changing line-up of unique storytellers and a distinguished panel of judges that has included Dr. Jonathan LaPook and New Yorker cartoonist Mort Gerberg! 

Going Forward

Rooted in our love of the game and the healing power of the stories that come from it, we both continue in our role as a fundraiser for Made Visible and as a wonderful and joy-filled event! We are bringing this work to new venues, events, and organizations to infuse them with the spirit, connection, and joy of being taken out to the ballgame.
