The Fayette Yellow Jackets got a taste of baseball history this summer when they spent an exciting week in Cooperstown, N.Y.

They participated in a week-long tournament at Cooperstown Dreams Park, featuring 48 teams from all over the United States. The Yellow Jackets finished the tournament in ninth place.

All team members were inducted into the American Youth Baseball Hall of fame.

The following team members will also have home run balls on display at the Hall of Fame: Kevin “Big Cat” Finn - five home runs; Andrew Genovese - three home runs; Ross Gable - a home run and a grand slam.

Pitcher Jason Passmore set a park record for fewest pitches thrown in an inning for three outs, throwing a total of three pitches with defensive help from Matthew Clark and Finn.
