Own a Game-Worn 5th Anniversary Jersey

East Texas PumpJacks News Release


On Saturday night, the regular season came to a close with the excitement of "Shirt Off Our Back" Night, presented by Allied Waste. The team wore special maroon and white jerseys commemorating the team's fifth anniversary, eye-catching tops they have never worn before.

The most exciting part is that since it was Shirt Off Our Back Night, every one of those jerseys will be owned by fans. In fact, many of them were won by fans in attendance on Saturday night! Even though the Jacks awarded 20 game-worn jerseys Saturday, you still have a chance to win one of these unique collectibles... but only for a short time.

The jerseys of five select players - including TCL all-stars and record-breaking performers - and head coach Ben Taylor are still up for bid. Along with Coach Taylor, the other player jerseys available are: Jason Jester, Kyle Kubat, Whitt Dorsey, R.J. Santigate, and Taylor Murphy. The game-worn jerseys will be available for bid through Tuesday afternoon.

This is your chance to purchase a one-of-a-kind piece of Pump Jacks history... and own the jersey of a player or coach who may one day reach the big leagues!

In addition, all funds raised through the jersey auction will go to a good cause. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Full Count Foundation, which will in turn use the funds in Kilgore and surrounding East Texas communities. So not only do you get to buy a unique, game-worn jersey, but you're also helping kids in East Texas.

For more information on the bid process and to see the current bids, visit the "Shirt Off Our Back" page by clicking here . And check back often to make sure you aren't outbid!

We also want to send a special thanks to the generous sponsor who made Shirt Off Our Back Night possible. Allied Waste has been a loyal supporter of the Pump Jacks, and we appreciate their support over the years.

Happy bidding, and good luck!

Don't forget, the playoffs open Sunday night! The Jacks face the Alexandria Aces at historic Driller Park, in the do-or-die first round of the postseason. The winner of this one-game playoff advances to the TCL Championship Series beginning Monday!

Sunday Night is also Team Poster Giveaway Night, presented by Martin L.P. Gas. The first 500 fans will receive a commemorative 5th anniversary poster featuring every Pump Jacks player this season, each with his own throwback-style baseball card. It's a great keepsake for the Jacks 5th anniversary season, so don't miss it, and cheer the Pump Jacks into the TCL Championship Series!
