    The Eden Prairie Baseball Association (EPBA) held its third annual Opening Day celebration on Saturday, April 29, at Miller Park.

    The event, exclusively for families who have a player registered for Eden Prairie baseball this year, included various games and contests for kids.

    Mayor Ron Case threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Mike O’Brien, the coach of the Eden Prairie American Legion Team also gave a short speech to the youth players.
