St. Paul Saints News Release


ST. PAUL, MN - Fun fact: the first Native American to don a baseball jersey was Louis Sockalexis of the in 1897 for the Cleveland Spiders. One of the more famous Native American ballplayers from Minnesota is Hall of Famer Chief Bender, who tied a record by throwing three complete games in a single World Series. The St. Paul Saints will once again work alongside their partners, the Prairie Island Indian Community and Treasure Island Resort & Casino, to host Native American Heritage Night. It will be a night of culture, tradition, and a special giveaway as the Saints don a special uniform.

On Saturday, August 23 the Saints will wear a unique jersey that were specially designed by the Prairie Island Indian Community. The Saints script will appear across the chest and include traditional Dakota patterns within the "SAINTS." A Prairie Island Indian Community Patch will appear on the bottom left of the uniform with the number on the back including the same pattern as the "SAINTS" on the front. Each uniform will have the players name across the top, back portion of the jersey. The Saints will hold a jersey auction with proceeds benefitting Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul - Department of Indian Work (https://interfaithaction.org/).

In addition to the jersey auction, Interfaith will be in attendance collecting donated items as fans come through the gates. Items most in need include: cereals, soups, side dishes, baking items, snacks, and personal hygiene items.

The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a Saints/Prairie Island Bucket Hat, presented by the Prairie Island Indian Community. The bucket hat will include the Saints logo with "SAINTS" across the front and the Dakota language for Saints, Imnizska, appearing in the flourished tail of the "S."

Fans will want to get to the ballpark before first pitch as a special pre-game ceremony by members of the Prairie Island Indian Community will take place that will include music and dancing.
