Huntsville Stars News Release


INF Mat Gamel and P Josh Butler will continue their Major League Rehab assignments as Huntsville Stars beginning tonight. Because ML Rehab assignments do not count against the active roster; there are no corresponding moves; the active roster remains maxxed out at 24.

The Huntsville Fair opens tomorrow in the parking lot at Joe Davis Stadium. The carnival has rides, a petting zoo, some concerts and a host of fun. Heck, there's even an elephant for Allison Tofflemire! This weekend will be packed with Stars baseball, a salute to Disabled Veterans on Friday, a carnival, games, music, fireworks, Letters for Lyrics/Zac Brown Band CD giveaway on Saturday sponsored by Landers McLarty Dodge Ram Trucks and even a special 4:00 pm game on Memorial Day. If you don't have plans for this weekend, there's no better place to be in Huntsville than Joe Davis Stadium. Here's what's on tap sponsored by Spirit Coach, the official transportation provider of the Huntsville Stars:
