MAC Meeting

This morning I was invited to the local Military Affairs Committee meeting to present a signed poster.

Last year we were especially excited to work with the Military All-Stars, a traveling baseball team of active members of military. They travel the country, mostly minor league teams, in an effort to raise money for the Wounded Warriors project. On July 5th, we were able to host them in an exhibition game at Big Rock Stadium.

July 5th was a Monday and generally doesn't draw your typical weekend crowd. We had such a wonderful turnout last season for this specific event, it was absolutely unbelievable. Our attendance that night was 1713....for a Monday. We presented this particular game to the MAC in an effort to effectively promote it's purpose and event. They were a wonderful help

As you know, I generally am seen running around the concourse and tend to overlook what is happening on the field. That particular night, I remember watching pre-game ceremonies and their promotions in awe. My favorite part of the night was 9:11. When the clock struck 9:11 PM, we had a moment of silence in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the events that took place on 9/11/01. I specifically remember our interns running a promotion about that time, because we thought we would have time to do so. I ran down from the press box and kicked them off the field so that we can do a moment of silence (sorry guys). Obviously, living so close to NYC while growing up and being personally affected by 9/11, this was by far the greatest moment in my opinion of the entire season.

I was able to present a team signed Military All-Stars poster to the MAC. They greatly appreciated it. We are currently working with the Military All-Stars in scheduling the same game for this season as well. Can't wait.
