Traverse City Pit Spitters News Release
TRAVERSE CITY, MI - Every Pit Spitters game offers a unique experience for fans but this Friday will be one to remember as the Traverse City Pit Spitters will rebrand and turn int the Up North Cork Dorks for one game!
The Pit Spitters love Traverse City and all the unique things that make this region such an iconic place to live, work and play. Now the team is taking our love for the region to the next step by and changing the team's name for one special night!
You may be asking, "What is a Cork Dork?" The answer to that is: A Cork Dork is an affectionate term for a wine enthusiast.
The Traverse City area is home to more than 40 wineries and was named one of the "10 Best Wine Regions in the Country" according to USA Today and "One of the Seven Emerging American Wine Destinations to Visit Now" according to Vogue Magazine. The region produces 60% of Michigan wines.
The Pit Spitters have partnered with Bonobo Winery for this one-of-a-kind night.
"Bonobo Winery is excited to be a part of your summer at the ballpark. The partnership between the Pit Spitters and Bonobo was just a homerun waiting to happen," said Bonobo Winery Owner and General Manager Todd Oosterhouse.
Jill Terralavoro, Bonobo's Winery Director, echoed those comments. "We love how supportive the Pit Spitters are of their local community and that they wanted to bring in a local winery for their guests to enjoy another great part of Northern Michigan culture. Bonobo Winery just like the Pit Spitters aims to provide their guests with an exceptional experience and we're thrilled to be a part of that at the ballpark this summer."
The Cork Dorks jersey features "TC Cork Dorks" across the front chest with the "T" designed as a corkscrew connecting to the "C" in "Cork Dorks" forming a subtle "TC," which is a shorthand name for Traverse City. The jersey's sleeve patch also has a corkscrew with the handle representing the Upper Peninsula and the corkscrew connecting to the Lower Peninsular pinpointing the Traverse City area.
