"We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of our fans and we couldn't be more thankful and appreciative to the 200,000 people who have come through our gates."
Blue Wahoos staff and Kazoo, the team's mascot, greeted Bridges and his family at the top of the main entrance to celebrate the milestone. Bridges won a prize pack that included hats, programs and tickets to a future Blue Wahoos game.
