Jamestown, NY - The Jamestown Jammers will be holding a luncheon featuring players and the coaching staff on Thursday, June 12th at the Jamestown Gateway Train Station.

Esposito began his career in the New York-Penn League with the Lowell Spinners in 2000, and made appearances for both the St. Louis Cardinals (2007), and Houston Astros (2010). Over the course of 1391 games, Orlando Merced batted .277, with 103 home runs, while splitting time between Right Field and First Base. DiFelice played parts of three seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers, before finishing up his career in 2011.

We are also pleased to have this luncheon take place at the train station, which is a historic location in downtown Jamestown," said Jammers General Manager Matt Drayer.
