Modesto Baseball For Youth was established by Frank Russo in 1947, whom was the president of Modesto Baseball for Youth for over 40 years. Frank did not have any children of his own but his work with the youth of our community earned him the "Father of the Year" award in the early 1960's. The Russo Tournament is named in his honor for his tireless work with Modesto's youth and especially this commitment to Modesto Baseball for Youth. Frank Russo passed away in 2000, but the league that he helped establish and nurture continues strong. Last year, over 80 teams and 950 players took the field, supported by 400 adult volunteers. |
