International Stars College Showcase for young EU talent with Boomer Prinstein

Since I arrived on the baseball scene in Europe in 2004, there have been two American names that seem to keep popping up wherever I go, Ty Erikson and Justin (Boomer) Prinstein. I didn't know much about either but it was apparent these two were well connected within European baseball circles. I learned more about Ty in 2013 when his travel baseball team from the U.S. came to play at Finkstonball, our international tournament in Austria. They were called the International Game and they consisted of aspiring professional players who had paid their way to Europe to travel and play various European clubs over a two week period in hopes of getting picked up and at the very least develop some contacts for the future. It was at Prague Baseball Week that Ty told me about another project that him and Boomer are involved in, an annual college showcase in the U.S. for young European talent. A passion project of theirs which began in Florida in 2013 and then Washington DC in 2014, will now be held in Pheonix Arizona in early October 2015.
