Rollins hosts Uganda Little League team

The first team from an African nation to win a game at the Little League World Series visited Citizens Bank Park today as guests of shortstop Jimmy Rollins.  The Uganda Little League Team received custom hats as part of their visit to the clubhouse. 

 

Rollins visited Uganda to help train the local team for their participation in the Little League World Series.  Rollins volunteered his time to teach the coaches and players, and through the Rollins Foundation donated $10,000 to help with related expenses, as well as donated equipment, shoes and other needs for the Ugandan players.
