PENSACOLA, Fla., - Members of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos front office renovated Bill Gregory Park's tee-ball field on Monday as part of MLB's RBI program. Renovations included measuring and moving the bases and mounds, mowing the grass, edging the dirt areas, picking up trash and painting the dugouts.
"We couldn't have been happier about getting out into the community and helping with the tee-ball field at Bill Gregory, in support of MLB's RBI program," said Director of Guest Services and Community Relations Donna Kirby. "We have such a dedicated staff that truly cares about improving our community and making a difference in people's lives, so it's truly a pleasure for us to carve out time out of our calendars for this very worthwhile project each year. Bottom line, giving back to the community, it's the #WahoosLife."
After making the tee-ball field safer and up to code, the staff worked on the two other fields at the park.
"We were happy to help spruce up these fields today," said two-time Groundskeeper of the Year Ray Sayre. "Today's young players are the future of the game of baseball. I hope to see some of these kids playing on a Big League field one day."
The Pensacola Blue Wahoos are committed to giving back to the local community and dedicated fans. The field refurbishment is part of the organization's partnership with Major League Baseball's RBI program - Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities. Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities focuses on youth outreach by fostering the growth of young ballplayers on and off the field.
