NEWPORT, R.I. - The Newport Gulls are looking for volunteers to transform themselves into the team's legendary mascots, Gully and Gully Jr., for home games this summer at Cardines Field.
The baseball club is holding tryouts for volunteers interested in serving as Gully or Gully Jr., mascots which for years have created joy in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Gulls fans - both young and old alike. Tryouts will take place on Saturday, May 9, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Newport County YMCA, located at 792 Valley Road in Middletown.
Those interested in receiving more information about trying out to be Gully or Gully Jr. can contact Director of Baseball Operations Ryan Lauriat via email at operations@newportgulls.com, or by phone at 401-845-6832.
The Newport Gulls, members of the 12-team New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL), are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded as the Rhode Island Gulls in 1998 in Cranston, R.I., before moving to Newport in 2001. In addition to recruiting, fielding, and developing a team of the nation's top collegiate baseball athletes and attracting 50,000 fans annually to Cardines Field, the predominantly volunteer organization strives to benefit the youth of Newport County via summer camps, reading programs, fundraisers, scholarships, and charitable donations - totaling nearly $1 million since 2001. The Gulls are six-time champions of the NECBL - the winningest franchise in league history - and were ranked as the overall No. 1 summer collegiate baseball team in the country by Perfect Game USA in 2012.
