Day 2 of sharing Myrtle Beach Memories to celebrate the 20th Anniversary 🌴
“We have had some great times at Ripken Myrtle Beach, but this story takes the top. In July 2023 Jaden attended Tournament at Ripken and was the Home Run Derby Winner. Was such a special memory. Then in Feb 2025 Ripken revealed on social media their new retail store and we quickly saw a familiar picture and face! To make it better, Jaden’s high school team was planning a trip to Ripken that summer for Spring Training. When the team got there it became ritual to to stop and dap up Gibby! Such an amazing memories at Ripken Myrtle Beach.”

“The memories we built and the time we were together on the fields. Once you are there, everything is different.”
“My son’s first experience to Myrtle Beach - Everything from the pool, beach, bonding with teammates, and especially my son playing at Shibe Park, which is the replica stadium of the Philadelphia Phillies where my dad would go to watch them as a kid.”
“For me it’s our small community travel team competing against teams from all over the country, going 5-0 in pool play and then my son pitching in bracket play against a very talented team from Miramar, Fl and him holding them to 3 hits and scoring our teams only run. It was a tough loss 2-1 but it was a great pitching performance. Of course the down time on the beach with our tight knit players and parents is a memory I will always cherish!”
