Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla., - The Jacksonville Suns baseball team will be featured on the cover of the 2007 - 2008 Jacksonville edition of the AT&T Real White Pages directory. Delivery starts this week and will continue for approximately four weeks. AT&T Advertising & Publishing estimates that 549,000 AT&T Real White Pages directories will be delivered to area residents and businesses.

"We are proud to feature the Jacksonville Suns on the first AT&T-branded Real White Pages directory for Jacksonville," said Jim Dotsikas, AT&T Real Yellow Pages regional sales manager. "The AT&T Southeast (formerly BellSouth) directory covers now have a little different look, but you can still count on the AT&T Real White Pages as your comprehensive source of community information." ADVISORY: AT&T Advertising & Publishing will unveil the Jacksonville directory cover at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville on Friday, June 8, as the Jacksonville Suns take on the Chattanooga Lookouts. The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville are located at 301 A Philip Randolph Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32202. Attendees will include representatives from the Jacksonville Suns and AT&T Adverting & Publishing.

The Jacksonville Suns moved to Jacksonville in 1984 and began a new chapter in 2003 with the opening of the $34 million Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. The Suns welcomed the one millionth fan to the Baseball Grounds in just its fourth season and have led the Southern League in attendance each of those years. Since the opening of the Baseball Grounds in 2003, the crowning achievement has been the Suns' latest Southern League championship in 2005. Led by two-time Southern League Manager of the Year John Shoemaker, the Suns stormed through the regular season and the Southern League playoffs while earning Baseball America's coveted Minor League Team of the Year honors.

"We are excited that the Jacksonville Suns will appear on the 2007 - 2008 directory cover," said Kirk Goodman, general manager of the Jacksonville Suns. "This means that the Jacksonville Suns will be front and center anytime someone picks up one of these directories. We are pleased that AT&T Real White Pages chose to highlight both our facilities and our strong presence in the Jacksonville community."
