Chesapeake Baysox News Release
BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie Baysox celebrate their longtime MLB affiliate and their most recent Hall of Fame inductee Sunday, July 7, during the 1:35 p.m. contest against the Harrisburg Senators, Double-A Affiliate of the Washington Nationals.
With the right-handed pitcher earning an induction to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., this year, the Baysox are giving away a Mussina Hall of Fame bobblehead to the first 750 fans (ages, 13 & up) that come through the Prince George's Stadium front gates, presented by Money One Federal Credit Union. Gates open at 12:30 p.m.
The Baysox also will be giving away one personally autographed Mussina bobblehead as part of an in-game raffle. Raffle tickets are free.
Mussina played in a Baysox uniform for two games during his long professional career, making a pair of rehab appearances during the 1993, when the team played at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium.
Additionally, the Baysox are excited to welcome former Oriole pitcher Ken Dixon to the ballpark. The right-handed pitcher tossed for Baltimore from 1984-87, recording a 26-28 overall record in 105 games (68 starts). Dixon will toss out the first pitch and sign autographs during the game.
The Bowie Baysox 2019 season is presented by Money One Federal Credit Union. The Baysox will return in 2019 to celebrate their 27th Season. To keep up with Baysox news during the offseason, visit baysox.com and be sure to follow the Baysox on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Snapchat.
