Dan Clouser tells Zeke the remarkable story of how Berkshire Baseball started on a baseball diamond and metamorphosed into the glittering diamond that is the BIG Vision Foundation. “Berkshire Baseball was born of a love for baseball -- a group of adults who just wanted to continue playing baseball," recounts Clouser, president of the BIG (Berkshire Innovative Growth) Vision Foundation. “Guys who played on a team together and also coached other teams against each other." In so doing, they learned they could touch the lives of young athletes on and off the field. BIG Vision strongly emphasizes good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, dignity, humility, class and respect for authority. BIG Vision hosts numerous tournaments at all age levels at its state-of-the-art complex at the Berks County Youth Recreation Facility on County Welfare Road in Leesport as well as various other locations around Berks County. “According to Crystal Seitz, executive director of the Greater Reading Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Big Vision Foundation generates $3 million to $5 million a year in tourism revenue for Berks County," says Clouser.
