today's FFA is all about that we've received from the Kansas City
Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds

have the opportunity to put FFA in front of more than 150,000 Major
League Baseball fans this summer and raise awareness about FFA, have
thousands of conversations about the importance of our organization
to share what we do throughout the country, and engage our members,
their teachers and loved ones, our alumni, and our supporters."
