Youngstown, Ohio over our local Greensboro Green team this afternoon, 8-2, and Youngstown, Ohio claims the 2023 COLT Baseball East Zone Tournament Title, and Youngstown, Ohio is headed to the 2023 COLT Baseball World Series beginning next week, in Marion, Illinois…
But, now with our good friend Paul Harvey lingering on in the background, “Now we have for you, The Rest of the Story”…..
Guess what, Greensboro is going to the COLT World Series too…Our Greensboro Green team will be flying out of here on Thursday of next week, headed for Marion, Illinois, site of the 2023 COLT Baseball World Series…
So, Youngstown, Ohio wins the Zone and they are headed on to the Series repping the East Zone in the Series, but how did Greensboro get in???
We’ll the Director of COLT Baseball called Greensboro last week, and said they not only need the Winner of the East Zone in the Series at Marion, Illinois, they need the #2 finisher/Runner-up from Greensboro too…You see, the Caribbean Zone could not come up with a Tournament or a World Series Rep for this season, so our Greensboro Green team will now be repping as the Caribbean Zone Winner at this year’s COLT Baseball World Series…
We have had some warm weather here lately, and it has been humid also, so we can qualify for Carribean-like conditions, and therefore it is time for our Greensboro Green team to rep the Caribbean Zone at this year’s COLT baseball World Series, and they will…
The World Series came calling, and Greensboro Green is going…Coach Adam Gunn talks about this Green team being a bit young, and still a bit green, but they are really coming on…I had Cooper Marks marked down as one of my top players today/Saturday, and Coach Gunn gives his props out to the Green guys in our interview….

**********Youngstown, Ohio:2023 COLT Baseball East Zone Tournament Champions**********
So how come we didn’t take the top 18 kids from both teams? The white team was referred to as the “B” team by one of the Green team Coaches. The best of the best should be representing Greensboro, not the pre-selected kids that know somebody. Just my opinion, no need to take it seriously. I’m just an old ball player that knows a little bit about the game.
Greensboro shouldn’t be representing anything. To be asked to FILL a spot due to the Caribbean Region not fielding a team is embarrassing.
Chalk it up as a learning experience and enjoy the rest of your Summer….or let’s continue keep giving “participation” trophies or rewarding EVERYONE so no one’s upset because some kids or even adults for that matter have no understanding of what or how to lose and the importance that has.
Jesus Greensboro sports fans couldn’t be more Toxic. No wonder colleges don’t recruit this area like as actively as they do Charlotte and Raleigh. Our local athletes are under represented mainly bc of the “Fans” locally are keyboard warriors trashing on VOLUNTEER players coaches and administrators. I KNOW Greensboro can be better…..
