There's a special profile in today's paper about Major League Baseball's Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities program, which is helping kids learn both study and baseball skills at places like the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in the Bronx.

Check out about ten photos of Sergio Cruz, a right fielder for the Kips Bay RBI Mustangs and the team's best hitter, who says the program helped keep him off the streets and out of trouble, after his mom died.
