 It
was a damp and chilly day at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St.
George on Sunday as many Baby Bomber fans braved the cool air and light
rain to help usher in another new season of Staten Island Yankees
baseball. The first 100 Season Ticket holders who waited inline were
the first fans allowed to enter the ballpark and were given the
opportunity to meet former a couple former New York Yankees.
Staten Island Yankee fans entered the ballpark and were treated to
special attractions throughout the day. When the weather cleared up the
Yankees unveiled their new Staten Island Physician Practice Fun Zone
down the left field line. The new Fun Zone includes special activities
for families including a Scooter Skeeball and face painting.
Those fans who had the opportunity to meet the special
guests of the day lined up
outside the Staten Island Yankees Team Shop behind home plate where
one-by-one they meet with Tino Martinez, Darryl Strawberry and Pat
McMahon. All three signed autographs and talked with fans throughout
the day.
Season Ticket holders had the chance to sample the food at
the new Pinstripe Pavilion on the left field concourse. The freshly
grilled food and the new condiment table was a hit with fans new and
old. Many ticket holders agreed that it was an improvement from last
year.
Throughout the day
Baby Bomber fans had the chance to enter raffles for several great
prizes including Staten Island Yankee merchandise featuring the new
logos, luxury suites, and more. In addition fans had the chance to
participate in a silent auction for game used jerseys from past
seasons. Tours of the ballpark were also available for fans who wanted
to see the inner workings of Staten Island’s home team.
The event was a success for the Baby Bombers as Opening
Night is sold out for the second consecutive year. In addition fans
that were interested in purchasing a ticket plan for this upcoming
season were able to view the limited number of seats available and check
out the view from their seats.
