CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Perfect Game President Jerry Ford will be in Marietta, Ga. on March 10-11 to preside over a two-day celebration to recognize the official opening of the historic and recently-renovated East Cobb Complex.

In June of 2020, Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service and operators of the Perfect Game Cares Foundation, signed a long-term agreement with East Cobb Baseball, designating the complex as the future home of Perfect Game’s activities in Georgia. As part of the agreement, the entire East Cobb Baseball Complex has been renovated, including the installation of brand-new synthetic turf.



"First, I want to thank everyone involved who helped turn this dream into a reality. The results of their passion and commitment to this project has been inspiring,” Ford said. “We are honored to call the historical East Cobb Baseball and Softball Complex as our home in Georgia. We look forward to utilizing this amazing facility to help foster the continued growth and love of the games of baseball and softball by providing players of all skill levels opportunities to play in a state-of-the-art and best-in-class facility.”

The festivities kick off with the official ribbon-cutting ceremony this evening at 5 P.M. ET, when Jerry Ford will be joined by local dignitaries and several former Major League Baseball players, including Atlanta Braves players Andruw Jones and Brian Jordan, former Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star and World Series champion Luis Gonzalez, as well as Greg Vaughn, Ben Ford, Tom “Flash” Gordon, Junior Spivey and Lou Collier.

Tomorrow, from 4-8 P.M. ET, the Major League Baseball players listed above will return to the complex to join the Perfect Game Cares Foundation to host a free baseball/softball camp for children 12 and under. The free camp will be open to the first 800 youth, ages 12 and under, to register on a first-come, first-served basis at PerfectGameCares.org/camps.

“On behalf of the Perfect Game Cares Foundation, I want to extend my gratitude to those Major Leaguers who are joining us for this two-day celebration of baseball and softball," Perfect Game Cares Foundation Executive Director Jennifer Ford said. "With their support, and the support of others not with us today, the Perfect Game Cares Foundation looks forward to using the East Cobb complex to provide youth from underserved populations opportunities to engage in baseball and softball, and to enjoy all the benefits playing these sports provide.”
