Home Runs & Homestays: The Healdsburg Prune Packers

 

Step into the heart of Healdsburg, California, where the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd echo through a century of summer baseball. This week, we dive deep into the legendary history of the Healdsburg Prune Packers, a team composed of Division 1 collegiate players with roots stretching back over 100 years. This is also a story about community. We'll explore the unique homestay program that connects college athletes from across the country with families in Healdsburg, creating bonds that last a lifetime.
