Reply to "Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League"

The Hamptons didn't have the bells and whistles of some of the other leagues, but it's solid baseball and some players do go on to play pro baseball.

The housing situations really varied, by team and by player. Different experiences for different players. Some host parents lodged several players.

Son played there the summer following his sophomore year of college. He hit well (.330's) and named to all-star team He was one of the "older players "of the league. He was lucky to get a spot as he signed late. I kept telling son to talk to his position coach in college as to what his summer plans were for RipkenFAnSon. Son didn't want to nag coach so several months passed. As it turns out, his college position coach thought son was doing an internship in the summer. The following year, son took matters in his own hands and directly contacted about 5-6 GMs of the NECBL, which he played and was one of his team's first signees.

He had good memories from the Hamptons league--not all players were as motivated as him, but you'll find that anywhere He did meet some players who were not from Northeast, I say that because the league does pull from that area of the country. He did have a place to work out that the team arranged.
