FORT MYERS, FL (July 16, 2008) - The Fort Myers Miracle return home Sunday, July 20 for a four-game home stand against the St. Lucie Mets. The brief stay is packed full of activities for young and old alike.

Sunday, July 20th will showcase Tampa Bay Buccaneer running back Earnest Graham and a 70s' theme. Come dressed in your favorite 70s' costume, enjoy pre-game music, a 70s' car show and get Earnest's autograph. Not necessarily in that order.

Monday, July 21st the Miracle has completely lost their minds. We have turned the ballpark over to the game day "Street Team". Cowboy up is the way we roll on this Monday. It's a hoedown at Hammond Stadium. Gather up them little cowboys and cowgirls and enjoy a good old' rodeo atmosphere complete with a mechanical bull. Midnight Cowboy has nothing on us.

Tuesday, July 22nd we pay tribute to the late Harry Caray and the fact that the song he made famous, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" turns 100 years old. "Alright! Lemme hear ya! Ah-One! Ah-Two! Ah-Three!" Let's just hope Miracle fans that audition before the game sound better.
