Blues Make Arley Sage Honorary Blue
July 2, 2015 - Futures Collegiate Baseball League (FCBL)
Bristol Blues News Release
The Blues organization has decided to make three year-old New Britain native Arley Sage a member of the 2015 Blues roster for the remainder of the season and she will be honored at the Fourth of July game when the Blues take on the North Shore Navigators at Muzzy Field.
Arley was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer of the muscles, on April 25, 2014. Since being diagnosed, the last year of Arley's life has been spent getting chemo therapies, several MRI's, and doctor's appointments. You can follow Arley's journey to remission on her facebook page, Team Arley Sage, as well as her blog at teamarley.blogspot.com.
On Saturday, the Blues plan on making Arley an official Blue, which would give her free admission for the rest of the year and two season passes for her family. Arley will also throw out one of the first pitches, be handing out the lineup card to the officials with manager Barry Lyons, as well as a special surprise from the Bristol Blues. Along with all of these things, the Blues will be giving all of the 50/50 proceeds that have not already been committed to other organizations to Team Arley and growing awareness about Rhabdomyosarcoma for the remainder of the season. Arley will also meet the Blues players in the clubhouse prior to the game and get her own team picture with the guys.
Based at Muzzy Field in Bristol, Conn, the Bristol Blues are a member of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England. The Blues are led by Manager, and former New York Mets catcher, Barry Lyons. The Futures Collegiate Baseball League is made up of elite collegiate athletes competing in a minor league style format. Each franchise provides high quality, affordable entertainment, in a casual, family friendly atmosphere. The Blues will play a 28 home game schedule ending August 9.
