Announcement on the status of the 2020 season

Given the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the National Capital Area, the Board of Directors of DC Grays Baseball voted unanimously not to field a team in the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League this summer.  All players currently under contract to the DC Grays will receive full releases, allowing them to sign with other summer college teams if they so choose.  All fees will be refunded in full.  After the pandemic has passed, we look forward to fielding a championship-level team in the Ripken League in 2021. 

DC Grays Baseball will continue to operate its DC Grays RBI youth program this summer – and will have kids on the field as soon as fields and parks are opened up in the District of Columbia.  DC Grays RBI is an affiliate of MLB’s Reviving Baseball in Inner-Cities (RBI) initiative, and provides baseball and softball opportunities for boys and girls ranging in age from 9-18.  Last year over 260 kids participated in DC Grays RBI programs, most of them from Wards 6, 7, and 8.
