About Patrick Renna:

In 1993, actor, Patrick Renna became an overnight cultural icon at just fourteen years old when he starred in a legendary baseball movie. The movie made him one of the most recognizable faces in modern baseball culture. Since then, his face has been plastered on countless t-shirts, posters, mugs, etc.

In short, baseball completely changed his life. Being so connected to the sport, he realized early on the profound impact it has on our youth as America’s national pastime. In many ways, baseball brings about the things we love most about humanity: drive, dignity, passion, camaraderie, and respect.

Renna recently launched Hambino Athletics alongside his longtime friend and fashion industry veteran Jessie Willner; it's a unisex, inclusive, nostalgic clothing brand that captures the good-natured spirit associated with baseball and inspires the continued love of the game. In addition to the launch, Patrick and his team created the Hambino Foundation which will provide support to young athletes and youth organizations in underserved communities throughout the United States.
