Mud Hens Announce Play Ball Weekend in June

May 18, 2022 - International League (IL)
Toledo Mud Hens News Release


The Toledo Mud Hens are teaming up with the city of Toledo and Major League Baseball to host our annual Play Ball Weekend at Fifth Third Field from Friday, June 10 through Sunday, June 12. These events are part of an ongoing effort to build connections between youth sports and the Toledo community.

The Play Ball initiative is baseball's collective effort to encourage young people and communities to engage in baseball or softball-related activities, including formal leagues, special events, and casual forms of play. Play Ball events have become MLB's signature youth engagement activity during the professional and amateur baseball and softball calendar, especially on key dates throughout MLB's Championship Season and through the World Series. Play Ball events demonstrate the positive way the game can serve as an outlet for physical activity, fun with friends and learning how to play the sport at its most basic levels.
