Free baseball in The Bronx, New York — right across from Yankee Stadium. 500+ youth ages 12–18 every summer at Elston Gene Howard Field.
Launched in 2025 at Elston Gene Howard Field in The Bronx — one of baseball's most historic neighborhoods, right across from Yankee Stadium — #HomeBase brings free baseball to youth ages 12–18 through the Summer Night Lights initiative.
Every game, every practice, every uniform — 100% free for every participant. No tryouts. No fees. Just baseball.
#HomeBase was made possible through powerful partnerships with organizations that share our belief that sport should be accessible to everyone. Together we're keeping kids on the field and off the streets.
Named after Yankees legend Elston Howard — the first Black player to wear a Yankees uniform — our home field carries the weight of history and the energy of a new generation.
Located in The Bronx, NY, steps away from Yankee Stadium, it's a field that belongs to the community — and we're making sure it stays that way.
Your donation keeps #HomeBase running — equipment, uniforms, field time, and coaching for 500+ youth every summer in The Bronx.
Coaches, organizers, social media — there's a role for every passion.
We'll reach out within 48 hours.
