Bismarck Larks News Release


(Bismarck, ND) - The Bismarck Larks will change the team name, wear custom jerseys and more for the matchup on Monday, June 26 against the Minot Hot Tots. The team will become the Dakota Rattlers - a 1990's team that played in Bismarck, North Dakota.

The opposing team, Minot Hot Tots, will also become the Minot Mallards that evening, paying homage to a former team in Minot, North Dakota.

The Larks will wear reimagined jerseys that will be auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the Bismarck Cancer Center. An original jersey from the 1990's Dakota Rattlers team will also be auctioned off.

Former front office staff, players and Dakota Rattlers Promotions Director, Dave Gilbertson, will all come back and be in attendance for the Dakota Rattlers throwback night on Monday, June 26.

"We're really excited to pay tribute to the last professional baseball team in Bismarck, North Dakota," said Entertainment Director Joe Zollo. "We know that a lot of our fans had memories with the Dakota Rattlers so we want to recreate that experience but with a Larks twist. We've been meeting with Dave, former employees and fans to really get an understanding of it."

Gilbertson will also be selling his book, Baseball in the Bad Lands: Stale Beers & Stale Careers, with proceeds benefiting the Larks Community FUNd.

The team will play against the Minot Hot Tots in Minot on Tuesday, June 27. They will wear the Dakota Rattlers jersey for that game as the Minot Hot Tots become the Minot Mallards for the series as well.
