The Princeton Rays and Bluefield Orioles -- bitter arch-rivals on the field -- announced Wednesday they're joining together for a very worthy cause.
The two teams will play in the "2009 Nights of Hope Mercer County Baseball Series" July 29 & 30 to raise awareness of and funding for the fight against breast cancer. More details will come ITH in the weeks and months to come.
In the shorter term, you'll hear a unique joint interview with P-Rays General Manager Jim Holland and Baby Birds GM Mike Showe during halftime of each game of the Concord-Glenville State college basketball doubleheader Thursday 19 February on Classic Rock 102 The New River and theriver102.com.
The women's game starts at 5:30 pm, and the men are scheduled to tip off at 7:30. We'll start our broadcast at 5:10.
College basketball has been helping to fight breast cancer for years (Concord has its annual "Pink Zone" event last weekend), and it took on added poignancy this year with the recent passing of legendary coach Kay Yow. It's good to see baseball take up the cause as well.
If you'd like more information on the "2009 Nights of Hope Mercer County Baseball Series," call the P-Rays at (304) 487-2000, the Bluefield Orioles at (276) 326-1326, or the local chapter of the American Cancer Society at (304) 327-8770.
