Syracuse Mets News Release


Syracuse, NY - The Syracuse Chiefs, Triple-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, are pleased to announce that second baseman Seth Bynum will attend the team's Hot Stove Dinner and Silent Auction on Friday, January 22. Bynum was named the Nationals' 2009 Triple-A Offensive Player of the Year for his efforts in Syracuse.

Bynum made an indelible impression in his first Triple-A season in 2009. The University of Indiana product hit.262 and finished with a career-high 19 home runs and 67 RBI. Bynum played in 134 games with the Chiefs after spending the first week of the season with Double-A Harrisburg.

"Having Seth at the Hot Stove is great for the Chiefs and our fans," Chiefs General Manager John Simone said. "Seth became a fan favorite last year and we're looking forward to seeing him again.

Bynum adds to a list of notables already confirmed for the Hot Stove including Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo, Manager Jim Riggleman, Director of Player Development Doug Harris, plus Chiefs Manager Trent Jewett, infielder Pete Orr, and former Hitting Coach Darnell Coles.

The Hot Stove will take place at the newly renovated Holiday Inn Convention Center in Liverpool. The event will get underway with a silent auction of sports memorabilia beginning at 5:30pm with the dinner program set to start at 7:00pm.

This year's dinner will be the first of many events planned by the Chiefs to celebrate 50 years of community ownership in 2010. After losing baseball following the 1955 season and again midway through the 1957 campaign, a group of local businessmen organized a stock drive to purchase the Montreal franchise of the International League and move it to Syracuse for the 1961 season. The Community Baseball Club of Central New York, Inc. has operated the franchise in every season since; keeping baseball in what has become one of the smallest markets in all of Triple-A Baseball.

Tickets for the Hot Stove are $55 for adults and $25 for children 12 and younger or $500 for a table of ten. Fans may purchase tickets in person at the Chiefs ticket office at Alliance Bank Stadium or by calling 315-474-7833 during normal business hours, Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm.
