Why I Sponsor Youth Baseball & Softball

If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time at the baseball and softball fields. Between practices, games, and tournaments, it feels like a second home. But for me, it’s more than just cheering from the stands—I also get to see Grumpy Book Seller proudly displayed on banners and uniforms, supporting the teams my kids play for.

Sponsoring these teams isn’t about advertising or bringing in business—it’s about giving back to something I truly believe in. Team sports teach kids leadership, resilience, teamwork, and commitment—lessons that go far beyond the field. These programs take real funding to keep running, and I’m proud to do my part to support them.

It’s also just a lot of fun! Watching the kids grow, improve, and learn what it means to be part of a team is incredibly rewarding. Whether they’re celebrating a big win or learning from a tough loss, they’re building skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

So, if you see a Grumpy Book Seller banner out there, know that it’s more than just a name—it’s a commitment to the kids, the teams, and the love of the game.
