Baseball legend Cal Ripken helps SA baseball

Nine South Africans who teach baseball in their communities, are on on a visit to Maryland in the US, after being chosen by baseball legend Cal Ripken for further training. Luwayne du Plessis from Mitchells Plain, Una Packery and Meagan Cloete, from Bishop Lavis, are amongst the nine. The Cal Ripken Foundation helps youngsters build a positive attitude and character by using baseball. Cal Ripken will visit South Africa in March 2009 to see how the nine are using their US training.
