• Chester County claims 2007 Carpenter Cup title

Developed in 1986 and named for former Phillies' owners Bob and Ruly Carpenter, the Carpenter Cup Classic, which is recognized nationally as one of the finest baseball tournaments for high school students, is a vehicle to help promote the top area baseball players.

Each year more than 400 high school players from the tri-state area are able to showcase their skills in front of major league scouts and more than 220 college coaches.

The Carpenter Cup has been a catalyst for many players to receive scholarships or admission to some of the country's finest universities.

Additionally many Carpenter Cup participants have gone on to big league careers including Mike Piazza, Ben Davis, Mike Koplove, David Miller and Bobby Higginson.
