Braves Night 2008

Since 2002 Mt. Bethel Recreation has organized an annual spring season Braves Night and this year is no exception. In 2002 we took 300 fans to the Braves game and by 2007 the numbers had grown to 1300. We hope to exceed that number this year.

Before each game our players and coaches are allowed to parade around the field in their uniforms as their teams are announced while our t-ball teams play a game on center field. Over the years, members of our church and recreation program have participated in the opening ceremonies.

Our own Dan Boswell and Aaron Sheffield have thrown out the first pitch. Kathy Wilkerson has sung the national anthem. Alex Kirk and Adam Sheffield have been honorary grand marshals while Alex Sovitch and Philip Hamilton were honorary team captains.

This year, Braves night is May 16, Braves vs. Oakland A’s. Game time is 7:35 (parade at 7:00), tickets are $14.00 each and can be purchased in the CAC beginning April 19. Please join us.
