Dayton Gems News Release


Dayton, OH- The Dayton Gems Ownership Group, proud member of the Central Hockey League, announced today that Blade (Gems mascot) will be one of the many mascots selected to participate in the 8th Annual Mascot Tee Ball Game this Sunday, August 29, at 12:00 p.m. at Great American Ball Park, the home of the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball (MLB).

The selection process for the mascots that were chosen to participate is done at random by the front office staff of the Cincinnati Reds. Just by chance, Blade was the only Dayton area mascot selected to represent the city of Dayton in the Tee Ball game. Twister, the Cincinnati Cyclones (ECHL) mascot is the only other hockey related mascot that will also be playing in the game. The game will begin at 12:00 and go until no later than 12:30 p.m. The Cincinnati Reds will take on the Chicago Cubs following the Tee Ball game at 1:10 p.m. The Reds are currently in 1st place in the National League Central Division with a record of 73-54 (36-26 at home), they currently hold a 3.5 game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals.

"When the Reds contacted us about the opportunity to have Blade play in the 8th Annual Mascot Tee Ball Game we were very excited," said Gems President Joe Greene. "We look forward to representing the city of Dayton by sending Blade to Great American Ball Park and we hope to see some Gems fans down there as well to help cheer him on for a victory."
