Delmarva Shorebirds News Release
Salisbury, Md. - The Delmarva Shorebirds, class "A" affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, are auctioning off an autographed Dylan Bundy game-used glove with the proceeds benefitting Mountaire Thanksgiving for Thousands. Bundy, 19, is the top prospect in the Baltimore Orioles farm system according to Baseball America.
The Owasso, Oklahoma native used the black Mizuno glove in his only outing during Major League Spring Training against the Boston Red Sox and tossed a scoreless inning.
Monies donated to the Mountaire Thanksgiving for Thousands Fund at the Delaware Community Foundation will be used to purchase staple food items to go in the thousands of Thanksgiving for Thousands meal boxes produced through the program each year. In 2011, over 7,000 boxes were prepared and distributed to churches, shelters and food pantries across the Delmarva Peninsula which helped provide a nutritious Thanksgiving meal for more than 50,000 area residents in need.
Staple food items include cans of corn, string beans, peas, pork & beans, yams, gravy and cranberry sauce, which are coupled with a Mountaire Roaster to provide a well balanced meal for needy individuals and their families.
Bundy baffled the South Atlantic League in eight starts, posting a 1-0 record with a 0.00 ERA. In 30 innings pitched, he yielded just five hits and two unearned runs. Bundy was named the Orioles Minor League Pitcher of the Month in April after allowing just one hit over 17 innings. He struck out 40 batters in 30 innings and issued just two walks.
"Beyond the gaudy numbers, Dylan has been very willing to be a part of the Shorebirds community efforts over the first two months of the season," said Shorebirds general manager Chris Bitters. "We applaud him for being so generous with his time and eager to help whenever asked."
The auction will begin on Friday, May 25 and run through Monday, June 25 at 12:00pm. The autographed glove will go to the highest bidder. The Shorebirds have set an opening bid of $500 for the glove.
The auction will take place on the Shorebirds official website, www.theshorebirds.com.
