Miners helping area youth

Talk to any Frontier League baseball player and most agree the Southern Illinois Miners organization is the class of the league. Most call them the "NY Yankees" of the the Frontier League, and most say it with a little jealousy in their voice.

From the front office staff to the coaching staff the Miners do things the right way making the baseball experience the best it can be for the players and the fans. Now you can help the Miners help area youth leagues.

MARION, Ill. – Now through the end of the month, the
Southern Illinois Miners are accepting donated baseball mitts to be distributed to local youth leagues as part of the Miners Helping Hands glove donation program.

Any fan donating a new or used glove will receive two tickets for the Miners final regular season home game on Wednesday, Sept. 1 at Rent One Park. Donations can be made at the Rent One Park box office during normal business hours or on the concourse at the fan assistance center and advance ticket window during Miners home games.

The gloves will be donated to local youth leagues following the season. Leagues must submit a written request to the Miners to receive the equipment.

The Miners are currently in the middle of a six-game homestand which runs through this Thursday, Aug. 5. For the latest news on the Southern Illinois Miners and events at Rent One Park, visit www.southernillinoisminers.com.
