What Shorebird Baseball is All About!













It's a wonderful thing to have seen all the families out to celebrate not only the learning achievements of the kids, but to celebrate being a family. I saw parents and students hand in hand smiling, kids on their dad's shoulders, and a few being a bit shy being on center stage. Simply put the smiles on everyone's faces, both children and adults alike, makes this so worth while. All the kids were so excited and were running around playing together before the parade. They felt like celebrities with everyone cheering them on, getting their pictures taken, Shorebirds giving high fives them as they went along, and just being on the field. The procession along the infield warning track zigzagged along all around the track and into the stands. It was massive and the GM Chris Bitters loved seeing everyone participate!

The Shorebirds did an amazing job talking and giving autographs to all the fans during the pregame. And again the smiles and joy that these kids received were priceless. As I'm sitting in the press box I see all the kids playing on Sherman's walk jubilant and having a blast. It's a great sight to see and such a great atmosphere to bring your family, a date, or friends to!

Even Tippy Martinez was out signing autographs tonight!
