Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The Gwinnett Stripers pay tribute to Baseball Hall-of-Famer Jackie Robinson, welcome golf enthusiasts, suit up as the Malmö Oat Milkers, and more during a six-game series at Coolray Field from April 15-20 against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Triple-A, Philadelphia Phillies).

The jam-packed homestand features Jackie Robinson Day as part of the second Education Day (April 15), "Stripers Open" Golf Night featuring an appearance from professional golfer Stewart Cink in partnership with the Mitsubishi Electric Classic (April 18), a Chopper Bobblehead Giveaway presented by Coca-Cola (April 19), and a postgame Easter Egg Hunt (April 20).

When the mark is reached, all fans in attendance at the history-making game will receive one (1) FREE Baseline Box ticket to one remaining Tuesday or Wednesday night game in 2025. The fan officially recognized as the four-millionth will also receive a Stripers VIP Prize Pack. All details are at GoStripers.com.
