Hi friends, family, and baseball fans!

My name is Christopher Shaffer, and I’m the proud father of Caiden, an 11-year-old with a huge heart and an even bigger love for baseball. We’re thrilled to share that Caiden has been selected to play in the prestigious Cooperstown Dreams Park tournament in June 2026! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to compete with talented athletes from all over the country, create unforgettable memories, and experience the magic of one of the most iconic places in youth baseball.

From Caiden:

“I love baseball because it teaches me how to be a good teammate, work hard, and never give up. Playing in Cooperstown would be a dream come true!”
