Pennant Race Heats Up for T-Bones
August 17, 2004 - Northern League (NL)
Kansas City Monarchs News Release
We'll start things off tonight with Dollar Dog Night, presented by KCWE and WIBW. Red-hot Lee's Summit native Jonathan Krysa will be on the hill for the T-Bones, taking on Fargo-Moorhead RedHawk righty J.J. Scheving. Come out and watch some great baseball - and eat all the dollar dogs you can stomach!
Wednesday, August 18th, will be Family Night presented by the Kansas City Star and Sam's Club. That means that all families and parties of four - or more - can get the following for just $25: Four general admission tickets, four hot dogs, four Coke products, and a bucket of popcorn. Come support the T-Bones as they send Matt McClellan to the mound, opposing lefty Jake Whitney.
The brief homestand will end Thursday, August 19th. That will be Cap Night presented by Somers Eye Center and Z95.7! Tickets are going fast for this always-popular promotion. And we're thankful it's Cap Night... a few of the T-Bones and their staff will be having the completion of their head-shaving from the American Cancer Society's Shave to Save at the game! (Please see below for information on donations). RHP Jon McDonald will take the bump for the T-Bones against Fargo righty Todd George.
After the weekend in Lincoln, it'll be two days off (including the golf tournament - see below) and then the final homestand of the season - eight awesome games of fun! We still have hot tub spaces available for the final homestand - one of the best deals around!

Shave to Save with the T-Bones
Help the Kansas City T-Bones raise money for the American Cancer Society and get a couple of tickets in the bargain! Pitcher Matt McClellan, "Double Duty" Phil Thompson, Broadcaster Loren Foxx and "Promo Dude" Justin Stancil will all be shaving their heads to raise money for the American Cancer Society in the "Shave to Save" event August 19th.
The T-Bones contingent will be shaving half their heads at the Fairmont Hotel at lunch, and the other half at CommunityAmerica Ballpark that night before the game against the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. We will also be honoring the other shavees prior to the game!
All fans to donate over $10 to the cause will receive two free general admission tickets to the August 30th T-Bones game. If fans choose not to use the donated tickets, they will be given to patients who have cancer who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the game.
As well, we raise for the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge by staging our Launch-A-Ball contest after every game! Win dinners, T-shirts, tickets, CASH... and on Saturday nights, you can even win $10,000 - all for just a $1 donation! Look for the Promotions table your next time out and support a great cause!
