Happy New Year! On December 10, Baltimore Orioles farmhand and former Youse's Oriole Steven Johnson was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 2009 Rule 5 Draft, giving him a shot to become the third Ripken League alumnus to make the Major Leagues when teams break camp next spring. Johnson's travels (he was traded by the Dodgers to the Orioles last July) are just one story in our brand new alumni blog and expanded alumni section, where you can catch up on the likes of Derrik Gibson (Orioles '07-'08, pictured above), the "baserunner of the year" award-winner and a Top 10 prospect in the Boston Red Sox organization.

Wrapping up 2009: Boike, Abramson, Beck earn top honors in the Ripken League in 2009 │ Big Train win 2009 League Championship │ 38 alumni taken in 2009 Draft

Remember 2008? Celenza (Bombers '07-'08) and Swinson (O's '07-'08) highlight 2008 Season Awards │ PG Crosschecker: O's finish #2 in the nation │ O's capture 6th straight AAABA National Championship │ Orioles are 2008 CRSCBL Champs!
