Trenton Thunder News Release


(Trenton, NJ) - Upon hearing the news that future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre had been traded to the New York Jets, the Trenton Thunder, the Double A affiliate of the New York Yankees, offered the former Green Bay Packer season tickets for the remainder of the 2008 Thunder season.

"This is a big transition for Brett and his family, and the Thunder wanted to ensure they would feel welcome in the Garden State from day one," said Thunder Assistant General Manager Greg Coleman. The New York Jets play their home games in East Rutherford, NJ which is approximately an hour drive from Trenton.

In the event the three-time MVP is unable to use his tickets because of his football commitments, the Thunder will donate Favre's tickets to the charity of his choice.

The Thunder are currently in first place in the Eastern League Northern Division. The club opens up a five-game, four-day series with the Akron Aeros tonight at Waterfront Park. New York Yankee pitcher Carl Pavano is scheduled to make a rehabilitation start for the Thunder courtesy of St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center tonight at 7:05 PM.
