See Major League Talent at Harbor Park
You probably know the names Youkilis, Tejada, and Hall, but did you know that you could have seen them at Harbor Park this season? Kevin Youkilis, a member of the 2004 and 2007 Boston Red Sox World Series Championship teams, joined the Pawtucket Red Sox for a weekend series in Norfolk earlier this month. Miguel Tejada, a six-time All Star and the 2002 American League MVP, is currently on the Tides roster and hopes to rejoin the Baltimore Orioles this season. Tejada was an Oriole from 2004 to 2007 and again in 2010. Bill Hall, best known as a Milwaukee Brewer from 2002 to 2009, joined the Tides earlier this season and was promoted to Baltimore on May 12.
And that's just the short list. Don't overlook all the players the Tides have already sent to Baltimore this year, including Pitcher Dana Eveland, Catcher Luis Exposito, Infielder Steve Tolleson, and Outfielder Xavier Avery. There is a lot of Major League talent right here in Norfolk, so come and see them before they're on the way to Baltimore.
