Whitecaps comment on injuries

West Michigan Whitecaps News Release
Following Saturday's West Michigan Whitecaps game, we invited children in attendance to participate in a post-game Money Drop Promotion on the field. In the past, the organization has done very similar promotions without incident. The Whitecaps organization regrets that on Saturday, two of the children suffered minor injuries during the promotion. In the team's 12 year history, the organization has a solid safety record.
In response to inquiries regarding the signing of waivers, it is common throughout minor league baseball to have everyone who steps on the field for any promotion sign a waiver.
The Whitecaps will review what we learned from the Money Drop and look forward to continuing to create new and innovative promotions for the fans of West Michigan.
