Lowell Spinners News Release
The Spinners season is over a week old, and guess who's in first place with a 5-3 record! That's right, your Lowell Spinners! The opening homestand was a huge success, with tons of fun and a lot of great baseball.
Opening Night featured a win, but also a tribute to Joann Weber. The entire Weber family was on-hand to participate in a pre-game ceremony that included purple-streamed sky-divers and a video montage featuring former players, coaches, and staff--including Theo Epstein--remembering Joann.
Fun at LeLacheur Park continues on Sunday, when a 3-game homestand begins. Read on for all of the details, plus all the Spinners news that's fit to print. And don't forget our Pepsi Trivia, your chance to win a baseball scorebook autographed by Red Sox broadcasting legend Jerry Trupiano.
SAVING CHILDREN FROM SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST
With over 425 kids dying unexpectedly every month from sudden cardiac arrest, kids who never exhibited a SINGLE SYMPTOM till they collapsed, parents are asking themselves what they can do. The answer? Get your child's heart screened - a simple, easy, painless and affordable electrocardiogram (ECG). Visit us on our website: www.HeartScreenAmerica.com for more information about sudden cardiac arrest and adolescents or call us: 866.722.8008.

PEPSI TRIVIA
Welcome to Spinners Trivia, sponsored by Pepsi.

Congrats to Charles O'Conner, who correctly identified both players, David Eckstein (cereal) and Freddy Sanchez (salsa).
