Program – Seth Bradford originator of “43 Boys Baseball Club” saw a need for competitive baseball for young people 9-13 years old that live in County #43, Kosciusko County. 43 Boys Baseball Club foundation is built upon the principles that:

Players Play. Coaches Coach. Parents Cheer.

43 Baseball also expects that the following is embraced by ALL:

• Team-first mentality
• Accept whatever role you are asked to play
• Accept the outcomes

Seth quoted the “Matheny Manifesto” which says, in part:

I always said that the only team that I would coach would be a team of orphans,
and now here we are. The reason for me saying this is that I have found the biggest
problem with youth sports has been the parents.
