Portland Sea Dogs News Release
PORTLAND, MAINE - The Portland Sea Dogs, in conjunction with Baseball Miracles, are pleased to announce a Baseball/Softball Equipment Drive at Hadlock Field on Sunday, July 26th when the Sea Dogs host the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Fans are encouraged to bring new or old baseball equipment to the ballpark to be donated to children who are faced with economical or environmental disadvantages.
The Sea Dogs will accept all types of baseball and softball equipment including gloves, bats, catcher's gear, bases, baseballs, softballs, wiffle balls and bats, which will be all donated to Baseball Miracles.
A non-profit organization, Baseball Miracles is a team of baseball and softball instructors, founded by Hall of Fame scout John Tumminia, who have joined together to teach boys and girls with economic and environmental disadvantages throughout the world. Sea Dogs' pitcher Mike McCarthy is the driving force behind bringing this initiative to Hadlock Field.
"I believe baseball is about more than just playing a game. It is indicative of life in many ways and is a fundamental part of development for youth in communities around the world," said McCarthy. "Baseball Miracles is a great opportunity for anyone who has benefited from the game of baseball to give back. From the casual weekend fan to the die-hard memorabilia collector, we are all able to help underprivileged youth around the world benefit from the life lessons that baseball has to offer."
Any equipment fans bring for the drive should be brought into the ballpark and dropped off at the Baseball Miracles box at Guest Services in the concourse at Hadlock Field. For more information on the drive, please visit www.seadogs.com or www.baseballmiracles.org.
