With spring on the horizon, one of Cleveland’s longstanding community
enterprises, the B Buzz Baseball League is lining up for a big inning in 2022.

The league is currently recruiting players for the 2022 season. Practice begins
May 7, with the first regular season pitch scheduled for June 6. The league has
three programs, starting with tee-ball for children who will be at least 4 years
old by May 1, 2022, and including both minor and major leagues [ages 9-13 and
14-16 as of May 1, respectively].

The season ends July 28 with an awards ceremony scheduled for August 6 that will
feature former Major Leaguers Kenny Lofton and Ellis Burks.



Additional coaches are also being sought to handle the anticipated increase in
player participation after the past two COVID years.



Started in the late 1950s, B Buzz has been a longtime staple of the Lee-Harvard
community on Cleveland’s southeast side. The nonprofit organization has
undergone the normal cycles of growth and stagnation over several decades but
now appears to be on a solid upswing.

Businessman Wendell Fields, the League’s commissioner, exudes enthusiasm as he
talks about the league’s mission and the services the program offers. Fields
grew up in the area and played in the league as a kid, forming solid friendships
he continues to this day.





B Buzz Baseball League Commissioner Wendell H. Fields

Those deep roots helped out when the League, after being dormant for decades,
formed a new board of directors and reincarnated itself as a tax-deductible
nonprofit organization. Its new advisory board includes several present and
former public officials, including the current mayors of Warrensville Heights
and Woodmere Village, as well as Desmond Howard, the former Heisman Trophy
winner.

According to Fields, the goal is to provide today’s youth with the same examples
of character and responsibility he and his childhood peers experienced growing
up in the area in the ‘60s and ‘70s. The revitalized operation, which registered
24 players in 2014, is aiming for ten times that number this year as it bounces
back from the bad bounces induced by the pandemic of the past two years.

The league’s home fields — at the city-owned 76-acre Kerruish Park at Tarkington
Ave and Lee Road — need improvement, but Fields anticipates the Bibb
administration to offer some refurbishments this spring. Long term, the League’s
board of directors is proposing to build a state-of-the-art baseball complex by
2025 that will include at least four Astroturf fields. Fields also foresees a
new multipurpose indoor structure that will support the expanded family
programming the League is already offering.

In addition to the baseball programs for boys and girls, B Buzz supports summer
reading, financial literacy and other family-centric programming with various
community resource partners, including the Phe’be Foundation and Big Brothers
Big Sisters.

Parents/guardians may register children online here. In person registration is
available the first four Saturdays in April from noon to 4pm at Zion Chapel
Missionary Baptist Church, 4234 Lee Road [44128], Warrensville Heights
Recreation Center, 4270 Warrensville Road [44128], and Keritin Barber College,
4071 Lee Road [44128].

The $75 registration fee includes the uniform cost for each participant [$70
child if two or more enrolled from same household].

Adult coaches and volunteers should reach out to Fields at 216-712-2721 or
bbuzzbaseball@gmail.com.
