Step up to the plate for a great cause! The Louisville Bats are proud to host a special charity auction benefiting Playing It Forward, a local nonprofit dedicated to getting sports equipment into the hands of young athletes who need it most. From June 20th to 27th, fans will have the chance to bid on an incredible lineup of game-used jerseys, autographed memorabilia, and equipment straight from the diamond—including pieces signed by MLB rising star Elly De La Cruz. Whether you’re a die-hard Reds fan, a collector of unique baseball gear, or just love supporting kids in your community, this is your chance to take home a piece of the game and help the next generation of players. Every bid helps Playing It Forward continue their mission of turning unused gear into game-changing opportunities for youth across Louisville.
